The fraction of the catalog that is checked after 4 days is 5/6
If Mary takes 8 days to do a full check and her assistant takes 12 days then if they work together then the fraction of the catalog that is checked after 4 days is 1000/12.
Fraction is a combination of numerator and denominator. The number above division sign is known as numerator and the number below the division sign is known as denominator. It is in p/q form in which q cannot be equal to 0.
let the catalog contains 100 things.So in this way ,
In 1 day Mary does 100/8 things completed and her assistant does 100/12 things completed in 1 day.
So in four days they will complete =100*4/8+100*4/12
=400/8+400/12
=(4800+3200)/96
=8000/96
=1000/12
Hence if Mary takes 8 days to do a full check and her assistant takes 12 days then if they work together then the fraction of the catalog that is checked after 4 days is 1000/12.
