'A' does (1/14) of the job in 1 day. 'B' does (1/21) of the job in 1 day.

'B' worked alone for the last 3 days. In that time, he did the last (3/21) of the job.

So the part they did together was the first (18/21) of the total job.

Working together, they do (1/14 + 1/21) = (3/42 + 2/42) = (5/42) of the job each day.

If the number of days they worked together was 'D', then (5/42)D = (18/21).

D = (18/21) / (5/42) = (18/21) x (42/5) = (18 x 42 / 21 x 5) = 36/5 = 7.2 days.

They worked together for 7.2 days. Then 'A' left. and 'B' worked alone for 3 days.

The work was completed in (7.2 + 3) = 10.2 days.

=========================================

Check:

[ (7.2) x (5/42) ] + (3/21) = (36/42) + (3/21) = (36/42) + (6/42) = (42/42) = 1 job yay!

What kind of clause would 'before Jane leaves' be?

The clause "before Jane leaves" is a dependent clause, which means it relies on an independent clause, or main clause, to complete the sentence's meaning.Answer:'Before Jane leaves home,..' on its own is a dependent clause, or what is also known as a hanging clause waiting for the main clause to make it complete.'Before Jane leaves home' is also an introductory adverbial clause as it has a subject 'I' and a verb 'leaves' which make it a clause, then it has the prepositional word 'before' telling when Janes leaves home. This; therefore, introduces the adverbial clause.Before Jane leaves home, she clears the table.'She clears the table.' ( main clause that can stand on its own as a dependant sentence)'Before she leaves home,...' is dependent on 'she clears the table.' to make it complete.
