A can do the work in 18 days
⇒ 1 day = 1/18 of the work
B can do the work in half the time
⇒ B can do the work in 18 ÷ 2 = 9 days
⇒ 1 day = 1/9 of the work
If A and B worked together:
1 day = 1/18 + 1/9 = 1/6 of the work
Answer: A and B can finish 1/6 of the work in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:
A can do the work in 18 days
=>1 day=1/18 of the work
B can do the work in half the time
=>B can do the work in=18/2=9 days
=>1 day =1/9of the work
If A and B worked together,
1day=1/18+1/9=3/18=1/6
Hence,A and B can finish 1/6 part of the work in a day.
