    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
