Two workers finished a job in 12 days. How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 1
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone

(t+8) = time required by the other worker

So:

7.5/ t + 7.5/ (t + 8) = 1

Solve for t.

...

t = 12 days, the first guy working alone

The other worker would finish the job in 20 days.
