<PRE><B>Question 153401</B>
If it takes you 6 hours to run four loads with only one washer, how long would it take to run the same at the laundromat using 3 washers?
:
Use washer/hrs to solve this: 1 wash/hr = 1 washer for one hr
:
Let x = time required to do 4 loads in 3 washers
{{{((6*1))/4}}} = {{{((x*3))/(4)}}}
or
6 = 3x
x = 2 hrs
