Answer:

9\frac{1}{3}hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let third cook take x hours to prepare the same number of  pies y alone

Let y be the number of pies

In 1 hour ,third cook prepare pies=\frac{y}{x}

One experienced cook takes time to prepare enough pies  =4 hours

In 1 hour , cook prepare pies=\frac{y}{4}

Another cook takes time to prepare same number of pies =7 hours

In 1 hour , another cook prepare pies=\frac{y}{7}

All three cooks take time to  prepare the same number of pies=2 hours

In 1 hour,all three cooks  prepare  pies=\frac{y}{2}

According to question

\frac{y}{4}+\frac{y}{7}+\frac{y}{x}=\frac{y}{2}

y(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{x})=\frac{y}{2}

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{7}

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{14-7-4}{28}=\frac{3}{28}

x=\frac{28}{3}=9\frac{1}{3} hours

Hence, the third cook takes time to prepare the same number of pies alone=9\frac{1}{3}hours
