Question 889688: Hello, please help, thank you:
An electrician requires 2 hours to install an electrical motor, while an apprentice requires 6 hours to install the motor. The electrician worked for one hour and then stopped. How long would it take the apprentice to complete the installation?

The electrician completed 1%2F2 of the job. The apprentice needs to complete the other half. If the apprentice requires 6 hours for the full job, how long for half the job? 3 hours.
