ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Instead of dividing the work of cleaning and cooking with the roommate, if we tend to perform the work in which we are taking less time, it would be beneficial for us to take less time to complete both cooking and cleaning. It is because here, the roommate is specialized in cooking activities compared to me, and I am specialized in cleaning activities compared to my roommate for which the work can be completed in a short duration.
