X makes (1/(120))work per hour  Y makes (1/(60))work per hour  X+Y make ((1/(120))+(1/(60)))work per hour =  =(1/(40))work per hour ⇒ they′re finished after  40 hours = 4 days at 10 hours a day
$${X}\:\mathrm{makes}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{120}}\mathrm{work}\:\mathrm{per}\:\mathrm{hour} \\ $$$${Y}\:\mathrm{makes}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{60}}\mathrm{work}\:\mathrm{per}\:\mathrm{hour} \\ $$$${X}+{Y}\:\mathrm{make}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{120}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{60}}\right)\mathrm{work}\:\mathrm{per}\:\mathrm{hour}\:= \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{40}}\mathrm{work}\:\mathrm{per}\:\mathrm{hour}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{they}'\mathrm{re}\:\mathrm{finished}\:\mathrm{after} \\ $$$$\mathrm{40}\:\mathrm{hours}\:=\:\mathrm{4}\:\mathrm{days}\:\mathrm{at}\:\mathrm{10}\:\mathrm{hours}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{day} \\ $$
