At a loading dock, each worker on the night crew loaded 3/4 as many boxes as each worker on the day crew. If the night crew has 1/2 as many workers as the day crew, what fraction of all the boxes loaded by the two crews did the day crew load?	Pick one:
A) 4 / 7  B) 5 / 7  C) 8 / 11  D) 7 / 12  E) 11 / 15

Rationale: "let x be the number of workers on the day crew . let y be the number of boxes loaded by each member of the day crew . then the number of boxes loaded by the day crew is xy . the number of boxes loaded by the night crew is ( x / 2 ) ( 3 y / 4 ) = 3 xy / 8 the total number of boxes is xy + 3 xy / 8 = 11 xy / 8 the fraction loaded by the day crew is xy / ( 11 xy / 8 ) = 8 / 11 the answer is c ."
Answer: C
