Turners

Two turners perform joint work in 3 hours. The first-turner would perform the job himself in 7 hours. How long would the same job last for a second-turner if he worked alone?

Final Answer:

x =  5.25 h

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (1/7 + 1/x) = 1 x/7+1=x/3 0.190476x=1 214x=1 4x=21 x=21/4=5.25=5.25 h

x/7 + 1 = x/3

4x = 21


x = 21/4 = 5.25

x = 21/4 = 5.25
