Question

there are three people who work full-time and are to work together on a project but their total time on the project is to be equivalent to that of only one person working full-time if one of the people is budgeted for one-half of his time to the project and a second person for one third of her time what part of the third workers time should be budgeted to this project

Answer 1

This would be:

`1 - (1)/(2) - (1)/(3)`

Using common denominator of 6:

`(6)/(6)- (3)/(6)- (2)/(6) = (1)/(6)`

They should use
`(1)/(6)` of their time.
