Answer:

4/5 houses

Explanation:

The speed of the first carpenter is:

(1/5 house) / (3/4 day) = 4/15 house/day

The speed of the second carpenter is:

(2/5 house) / (3/4 day) = 8/15 house/day

Together, their combined speed is:

4/15 house/day + 8/15 house/day = 12/15 house/day

= 4/5 house/day

Per day, the two carpenters build 4/5 of a house.
