Question 956899: Each of the apprentices can complete 3/5 as many units of work an hour as an experienced worker.At this rate how many hours will it take the two apprentices working together to complete 480units of work if the experienced worker can complete 80units an hour? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The experienced worker's rate is units/hr
The apprentice's rate is units/hr
-------------------------------
Working together, 2 apprentices have a rate of: units/hr
-------------------
[ units ] / [ units/hr ] = hrs
It will take 2 apprentices 5 hrs to finish
480 units of work
