You can put this solution on YOUR website! Typing one edition is 1 job
Machine I 55 minutes
It does 1/55 of the job in 1 minute
Machine II 66 minutes
It does 1/66 of thejob in 1 minute
Together they will do 1/55 + 1/66
Together they will do 1/30 of the job in one minute
So they will take 30 minutes
