Q: Tom goes to a combined undergrad and Ph.D. program.  It takes 3 years to finish the BS and 5 years to finish the Ph.D.  Tom finishes it in 3/4ths the time.  How long does it take for him to finish?

A: The program normally takes 3+5=<<3+5=8>>8 years
So he manages to finish in 8*3/4=<<8*3/4=6>>6 years The answer is  6.
