Question 283425: It takes machine A twice as long to produce 10,000 bolts as it takes machine B. Together they do the job in 8 hours. How long will it take each machine to produce 5,000 bolts if each works separately? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8/y+8/2y=10000
y=3/2500
2y=6/2500
5000*3/2500=6 hours for machine B
5000*6/2500=12 hours for machine A
