Fraction are ratio of two integers. It will take Amen 20 days to do the task alone
<h3>Proporions and fractions</h3>
From the given question, we have the following information
Let the number of days Amen can take to complete a task be x
If Payson is thrice as fast as Amen at completing a task, then the number of das Payson takes will be 3x
If they both pick up a task together, and complete it in 5 days, then;
1/x + 1/3x = 1/5
Find the LCM
3+1/3x = 1/5
4/3x = 1/5
Cross multiply
3x = 20
Determine the time taken by Amen:
x =20/3
This shows that it will take Amen 20 days to do the task alone
