-- B can do the job alone in 16 days.-- So B does 1/16 of the job per day.-- In 6 days, B does 6/16 = 3/8 of the job.-- If A and B working together do the job in 6 days, then A does the other 5/8 of the job in 6 days.-- So A does 5/48 of the job each day.-- If they begin together, then after 3 days, A has done 5/16 and B has done 3/16.Together, they've finished 8/16 = 1/2 of the job. Not so surprising, when we recallthat it takes them 6 days to do the whole thing together.-- Half of the job then remains for A to finish on his own. Since he does 5/48 per day,he needs 24/5 = 4.8 days to finish off the last half.4.8 more days
