Question 1140850: Working together, it takes two computers 4 minutes to send out a company’s email. If it takes the slower computer 14 minutes to do the job on its own, how long will it take the faster computer to do the job on its own? Answer by ikleyn(52874) (Show Source):
Working together, the two computers make part of the entire job per minute.
Working alone, the slower computer makes of the job per minute.
It means, that the faster computer makes = = of the job per minute.
Hence, the faster computer needs minutes = minutes = 5 minutes and 36 seconds to complete the job working alone.
