# Two masters

The two masters will make as many parts as five apprentices at the same time. An eight-hour shift begins at 6 o'clock. When can a master finish the job to produce just as much as an apprentice for the whole shift?

Result

t = 9:12 hh:mm

#### Solution:

$u=8 \ \text{h} \ \\ 5m=2u \ \\ m=2 \cdot \ u/5=2 \cdot \ 8/5=\dfrac{ 16 }{ 5 }=3.2 \ \text{h} \ \\ \ \\ t=6.00 + m=6.00 + 3.2=\dfrac{ 46 }{ 5 }=9.2=9:12 \ \text{hh}:\text{mm}$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
