p alone can complete a job in 6 days . the work done by q alone in one day is equal to one - fifth of the work done by p alone in one day . in how many days can the work be completed if p and q work together ?
"p ' s rate is 1 / 6 q ' s rate is 1 / 30 the combined rate is 1 / 6 + 1 / 30 = 1 / 5 if they work together , the job will take 5 days . the answer is e ."
divide(const_1, add(divide(const_1, 6), divide(divide(const_1, 6), const_3)))
