equals open parentheses fraction numerator 2 cross times 12 cross times 15 cross times 20 over denominator 12 cross times 15 plus 15 cross times 20 plus 12 cross times 20 end fraction close parentheses d a y s
equals open parentheses fraction numerator 2 cross times 12 cross times 15 cross times 20 over denominator 720 end fraction equals 7200 over 720 close parentheses d a y s
equals 10 space d a y s
