Person A takes 2.3 days to paint the house working alone
Person B takes 13.8 days to paint the house working alone
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the number of days it takes person A to paint the house
Person A can paint the neighbor's house 6 times as fast as Person B
Therefore.
Number of days it takes person B to paint the house = 6x
Their rates of painting are added to get the rate working together
Thus person A takes 2.3 days to paint the house working alone
Person B = 2x = 6(2.3) = 13.8
Thus person B takes 13.8 days to paint the house working alone

<em>Additional comment</em>
I call this a "sum and difference problem" because we are given the total of two values and the difference between them. As you can see here, the larger of the two values is the average of the given numbers, their sum divided by 2. This is the generic solution to such a problem: the larger number is the average of the given sum and difference.
