If one worker takes 4 days to paint the house, that means they paint 1/4 of the house per day. Similarly, if the other worker takes 8 days to paint the house, they paint 1/8 of the house per day.
To find out how long it takes them to paint as a team while maintaining their personal work rhythms, we can add up their individual rates of work.
The first worker paints 1/4 of the house per day and the second worker paints 1/8 of the house per day. In total, they paint 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8 of the house per day.
Since they paint 3/8 of the house per day, it will take them 8/3 days (or 2 and 2/3 days) to paint the house as a team, if they maintain their personal work rhythms.
If a worker takes 4 days to paint a house and another worker takes 8 days to paint the same house. How many days will it take them to paint as a team, considering that they maintain their personal work rhythms?
