Question

:A can do a piece of work in 8 days. B can do the same work in 14 days. Write a program to calculate and print the number of days to be taken to complete the work if A and B work together.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 2/3 days

Explanation:

work done in 1 day by A, B is x/8, x/4

if they both work for one day then work done will be x/8+ x/4= 3x/8

Then total work done x will take 8/3= 2 2/3 days (well using proportions)
