Rewrite the equation as
x
/14
= 5/
7
. x/
14
= 5/
7
Multiply both sides of the equation by
14.14 ⋅ x
/14
= 14
⋅
5
/7
Simplify both sides of the equation.

Let x = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one
1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + x
1 - 1/2 - 1/3 = x
To subtract the fractions we need to put them all over a common denominator. Let's use 3*2 = 6 as the denominator; so 1 = 6/6, 1/2 = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6:
6/6 - 3/6 - 2/6 = x
1/6 = x
The third person must work 1/6 time on the project.
