How do you rounding off ?

In a given base, a round number is a number that ends including one or more "0s." So, 590 is more round than 592, but less round than 600. A round number is frequently interpreted in both technical and casual language to stand for something like a value or values close to the nominal value represented.

According to the given data:

If the faster roofer takes t, the slowest one will take 3t.

Their total daily charges for roofing are

1/t + 1/(3t) = 1/5

4/(3t) = 1/5

multiply by 5t

t = 5(4/3)

= 20/3

= 6.7
