One press can run the day’s newspapers in 6 hours, while another can do the same job in 8 hours. After running together for 2 hours to complete the job, the faster one breaks. How much longer must the slower press run to finish the newspapers? see if you can solve it(:
Sat you can help her
who can get it done the fastessttttt
Sat is faster than me so I let him do it
hahah mkay dont be a sore loser !
Nobody is even talking about that.
Don't be immature
combined rate is \[\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{7}{24}\] and it ran for 2 hours so it did \[\frac{7}{24}\times 2=\frac{14}{24}\] of the job, leaving \[\frac{10}{24}\] of the job left. now only the slower one is working, so we need to solve \[\frac{1}{8} T=\frac{10}{24}=\frac{5}{12}\] for T we get \[T=\frac{40}{12}=\frac{10}{3}\]
sat is a genius...
so what is the answer buddy?
so 3 hours and twenty minutes. then again i could have made a mistake.
YAYYYYY your the pellet!
