Question

Reid can execute one security audit in 10 days. He works 4 times as fast as Greg. I f Reid and Greg were assigned to work Together on the same security task they would have finished it in

Answer 1

Using the together rate, it is found that they would have finished the task in 8 days working together.

What is the together rate?

It is the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem, the rates are given as follows:

• For Reid, it is of 1/10.

• Greg works four times as slower as Reid, that is, one security audit takes 40 days, hence his rate is of 1/40.

Then, the together rate is given by:

$\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{40}$

$\frac{1}{x} = \frac{4 + 1}{40}$

5x = 40

x = 8

They would have finished the task in 8 days working together.
