Can You Solve These A and B Work Rates
A and B together finish the job in four days. A alone takes 3/5 of B’s time. Let B's time be t days, A's time be 3t/5. Their combined rate is 1/4 per day, so 1/(3t/5) + 1/t = 1/4. Solve: (5/3t) + (1/t) = 1/4 -> (8/3t) = 1/4 -> t = 32/3 days. Then A's time = 3t/5 = 32/5 days = 6.4 days.
