Question 1073933: Parallel processing is the simultaneous use of more than one computer to run a program. Suppose one computer, working alone, takes 16 h longer than a second computer to run a program. After both computers work together for 1 h, the faster computer crashes. The slower computer continues working for another 14 h before completing the program. How long would it take the faster computer, working alone, to run the program?

There is a bunch of lessons for a wide variety of joint-work problems with detailed explanations in the lessons
    - Using Fractions to solve word problems on joint work
    - Solving more complicated word problems on joint work
    - Selected joint-work word problems from the archive
in this site.

Read them and get be trained in solving joint-work problems.

Also, you have this free of charge online textbook in ALGEBRA-I in this site
    - ALGEBRA-I - YOUR ONLINE TEXTBOOK.

The referred lessons are the part of this textbook under the topic "Rate of work and joint work problems" of the section "Word problems".

When you learn these basics, you will be ready and prepared to solve ANY joint work problem.

Believe me, it is in 1000 times better way than ask tutors to solve every next joint work problem for you.
