Question

There are two machines that produce aluminum cans. The newer machine can produce
6600
cans in
220
minutes. It takes the older machine
330
minutes to produce that many cans. If the two machines work together, how long will it take them to produce
6600
cans?

Answer 1

The newer machine works at the rate of 6600/220 = 30 cans per min
The older machine works at the rate of 6600/330=20 cans per min
Then both machines work at the rate of 30+20=50 cans per min
Soooooo, our equation to solve is:
50=6600/x

Answer 2

50x=6600
x=132 min ----time it takes both machines working together to produce 6600 cans
CK
In 132 min, the newer machine produces 30*132=3960 cans
In 132 min the older machine produces 20*132=2640 cans
3960+2640=6600
6600=6600
