Hi bobbym,

The solution #4110 is correct. Brilliant!

#4111. A man works twice as fast as a woman. A woman works twice as fast as a child. If 16 men can complete a job in 12 days, how many days would be required for 32 women and 64 boys together to complete the same job?

#4112. A alone can complete a job in 12 days. B alone can complete the same job in 18 days. If both of them work together, in how many days would the job be completed (in decimals)?
