Morgan can paint a standard-sized house in about 5 days. for his latest job, morgan hires two assistants. at what rate must these assistants work for morgan to meet a deadline of two days?

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
 1. You have that Morgan can paint  the house in about 5 days. Therefore, his rate is:
 rate=1/5
 2. Then the rate that the two assistants must work for Morgan to meet a deadline of two days is:
 2(1/5)+x(2)=1
 2/5+2x=1
 2x=1-(2/5)
 2x=3/5
 x=3/(5x2)
 x=3/10 
 The answer is: 3/10
