please check the wording of this problem, it is unclear


" and stopped his helper " does not make sense in the context of this problem

"continued the job in 12 hours" probably means "completed the job after an additional 12 hours"


were they both working during the first 4 hours? If not, then what percentage of the floor did Mang Lano finish before his helper took over?
