one solar heating panel can raise the temperature of water 1� in 16 min.
a second solar heating panel can raise the temperature 1� in 24 min.
how long will it take to raise the temperature of the water 1� if both panels are operating?
:
let b = time required when both panels are operating
let the completed job = 1 (raising the temp 1 degree)
:
A shared work equation
:
+ = 1
multiply by 48 to clear the denominators, results:
3b + 2b = 48
5b = 48
b = 48/5
b = 9.6 minutes working together
:
:
check this
9.6/16 + 9.6/24 =
.6 + .4 = 1
