Problema Solution

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. when they work together, it takes them 2 hr(s.) How long would it take each of them to do the job alone?

Answer provided by our tutors

1/3 = John and Peter working together

1/J + 2 = Peter working alone

1/J = John working alone, where J = John

1/(J + 2) + 1/J = 1/3
