caleb and kyle built completed the construction of a shed in 10 and half days . if they were to work separately , how long will it take each for each of them to build the shed , if it will take caleb 2 day earlier than kyle ?
work = ( a ) ( b ) / ( a + b ) where a and b are the individual times of each entity . here , we ' re told that ( working together ) the two workers would complete a job in 12 days . this means that ( individually ) each of them would take more than 10 days to do the job . answers e , a and c are illogical , since the individual times must both be greater than 10 days . so we can test the values for answers b and d . using the values for answers b and d . . . answer b : ( 20 ) ( 22 ) / ( 20 + 22 ) = 440 / 42 = 10.5 this is a match final answer : c
add(add(multiply(10, 2), 2), multiply(multiply(10, 10), multiply(10, 2)))
