Pearson College owns a tabulator that can process registration data in 6 hours. Wanting to speed up the
processing, the school authorized the purchase of a second tabulator that can do the job in 8 hours. How many hours will it take the two tabulators working together to process all the data? (24/7 hr)

Answer :

Answer:

∞

Step-by-step explanation:

Let both be x and y

  • 6x=8y=>3x=4y=>x=4y/3

So

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 6x+8y=1[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 6(4y/3)+8y=1[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 8y+8y=1[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=1/16[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=0.0625[/tex]
