Solution

Step 1: Find out how much work A and B can do in a day.

A can do 1/15 of the work in a day and B can do 1/20 of the work in a day.

Step 2: Add the amount of work A and B can do in a day to find out how much they can do together in a day.

(1/15) + (1/20) = 7/60 of the work in a day.

Step 3: Multiply the amount of work A and B can do together in a day by the number of days they work to find out how much work they can do together in 4 days.

7/60 * 4 = 7/15 of the work in 4 days.

Step 4: Subtract the amount of work done from the total work to find out the fraction of the work that is left.

1 (total work) - 7/15 (work done) = 8/15 of the work is left.
