Question 939732: A small copier needs twice the time to run a big copy job as compared to the time it takes the large copier to run the same job. Working together, both copiers can complete the copy job in 15 minutes. How long does it take the small copier to complete the job?
The answer I got was the small copier would finish the job in 45 minutes, and the large one would finish in 22.5 minutes.
Is this correct?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If both of them finish in 15 minutes, I would think that the big copier would take 5 minutes and the smaller would take 10
