Question 97912: Jane can stuff 1,000 lobsters in 6 hrs. When her brother helps her, they can stuff 1000 lobsters in 4 hours. If Jane gets sick, how long will it take her brother to stuff 500 lobsters? Answer by rajagopalan(174) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Jane's speed 1000 in 6 hours ie 500/3 in one hour...2000/3 in 4 hours
brother can do 1000-(2000/3)=1000/3 in 4 hours
means...
100/3 in 4 hours
1000 in 12 hours
500 in 6 hours
So Brother can stuff 500 in 6 hours
OK
