Two carpenters are building a fence after 5 minutes, one carpenter is finished 4/7 of the way an the other is finished 1/8 of the way how much ahead is the second carpenter is the first carpenter

The first carpenter is 0.4464 of the way is ahead of the second carpenter

Solution:

Given, Two carpenters are building a fence  

After 5 minutes, one carpenter is finished 4/7 of the way

Second carpenter finished 1/8 of the way

Now, let us find the work done by each carpenter

Then, extra work done by first carpenter over second carpenter = work done by first carpenter – work done by second carpenter

= 0.5714 – 0.125 = 0.4464

Hence, the 1st carpenter is 0.4464 of the way is ahead of the 2nd carpenter
