Question 65129: Please help me with my take home exam.
One computer can solve a complex prime factorization problem in 75 minutes.
A second computer can solve the same problem in 50 mins. How long would
it take both computer working together to solve the problems?

First, find the rate (job per minute) of each computer.
If one computer can solve the problem in 75 minutes, then it can solve 1/75 of the problem in 1 minute.
If the second computer can solve the problem in 50 minutes, then it can solve 1/50 of the problem in 1 minute.
Together, the two computers can solve of the problem in 1 minute.
=
If the two computers can solve of the problem in 1 minute, then it will take them 30 minutes to solve the whole problem working together.
