Re: 10 second questions

Hi bobbym,

The solutions #4409 and #4410 are correct. Neat work!

#4411. A does half as much work as B in three-fourth of the time. If together they take 21 days to complete the work, how much time would B take to do it?

#4412. A can do a certain job in 15 days. B is 50% more efficient than A. Find the number of days it takes B to do the same piece of work.
