50 apprentices can finish the job in 4 hours, thus:
10 apprentices can finish the job in 4*5 = 20 hours;
In 1 hour 10 apprentices can finish 1/20 of the job.
30 journeymen can finish the same job in 4,5 hours, thus:
15 journeymen can finish the job in 4.5*2 = 9 hours;
In 1 hour 15 journeymen can finish 1/9 of the job.
Therefore, in 1 hour 10 apprentices and 15 journeymen can finish 1/20+1/9=29/180 of the job.
