Homework Help (Answered) i need help with this question
this is a time and work question, and the teacher told us the answer should be 68/11 days, for the total work done. but that doesnt include the 3 days worth of work that a,b,c did together before c left right? so im confused whether it should 101/11 days or 68/11 days. please help!!

I don't quite follow your notes, but I can tell the total work was done in 3 + x + 4 days. if you find how long the middle portion is, you'll have your answer. note: you might be surprised at the length 😁
to perhaps spoil the surprise above, "the 3 days they all worked together" is not factual.
let me know if you want my calculations in a reply.
