 or 

We are given computer B's precessing rate as 1 data quantity per 10 hours, or
 or 


We let X = the number of hours it will take both machines working together to
process the data.

So we can say that their combined filling rate is 1 data quantity per
X hours, or  or .

The equation comes from:

      .
