An advertising firm has an old computer that can prepare a whole mailing in six hours. With the help of newer model, the job is complete in 2 hours. How long will it take the newer model to take the job alone?

Sagot :

let x = time the old computer takes to complete a whole mailing
y = time the newer model takes to complete a whole mailing
since x = 6 hours we solve:
(1/6) + (1/y) = (1/2) --> we multiply with 6y: y + 6 = 3y --> 6 = 2y --> 3 hours = y
