Five tractors

Five tractors plow the field in 4.8 hours. How long will it take to plow this field if after 1.5 hours of work, two tractors went to a different field?

Correct answer:

x =  7 h

Step-by-step explanation:

${\displaystyle \frac{1.5\cdot 5}{4.8\cdot 5}}+{\displaystyle \frac{(x-1.5)\cdot 3}{4.8\cdot 5}}=1$

1.5•5/(4.8•5) + (x-1.5)•3/(4.8•5)=1

0.125x = 0.875

x = 7
