<h3>Answer: 20 hours</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

We have two workers, more or less. Worker A gets the job done in 5 hours. Worker B comes along to help. If A and B work together, they get the job done in 4 hours. This assumes neither worker hinders the other.

Worker A's rate is 1/5 of a job per hour. In other words, after 1 hour, 1/5 of the job is done.

The combined rate is 1/4 for similar reasoning

Worker B's rate is 1/x where x represents how long it takes worker B to get the job done on its own.

The equation to solve is

1/5 + 1/x = 1/4

Note how 1/5 and 1/x represents the sum of the individual rates to get the combined rate 1/4

To solve this equation, it helps to clear out the fractions. Multiply every term by the LCD 20x

20x(1/5 + 1/x) = 20x(1/4)

20x(1/5) + 20x(1/x) = 20x(1/4)

4x + 20 = 5x

From here you can probably see solving this is relatively easy

4x+20 = 5x

20 = 5x-4x

20 = x

x = 20

Therefore, it will take 20 hours for worker B to get the job done on its own.

Going back to the processing context, it takes 20 hours for the new processor to download the movie. This is where the new processor is working alone without help from the original processor.

----------------

Side note: downloading a movie really depends on internet speed rather than processor speed.

A spinner with s equally sized slices has 2 red slices, 2 yellow slices, and 11
Afina-wow [57]

The experimental probability of landing on blue or red is 13/20.

The theoretical probability of landing on blue or red is 13/15.

As the number of spins increases, we expect the experimental and theoretical probabilities to become closer, though they might not be equal.

<h3>What are the probabilities?
</h3>

The experimental probability of landing on blue or red = (number of times the blue slice landed on by Amanda / total number of times the dial was spun) +  (number of times the red slice landed on by Amanda / total number of times the dial was spun)
= 11/20 + 2/20 = 13/20

The theoretical probability of landing on blue or red = (number of blue slices / total number of slices) + (number of red slices / total number of slices)

=  2/15 + 11/15 = 13/15
