Problema Solution

Christopher can paint the interior of his house in 20 hours. If he hires Cynthia to help him, they can do the same job together in 12 hours. If he lets Cynthia work alone, how long will it take her to paint the interior of his house?

Answer provided by our tutors

In 1 hour christopher can do 1/20 work

Both can do 1/12 work

so, Cynthia alone can do 1/12-1/20 = 1/30

So can do work in 30 days
