So, in order to solve this problem, I will set up an equation. First, let's make x= the # of hours it takes Mr. Itol to complete a computer task, and since his assistant takes twice as long, lets make 2x=the # of hours it takes the assistant to complete the task. We also know that it takes the two of them 6 hours to complete the task together. We can now set up the following equation:

Now, in order to be able to solve this, we have to find the least common denominator, and then we can cancel out the denominators to solve for the top part. The LCD=6x and the new equation becomes:

Now, we can get rid of the denominators, and we get:

So, x= 9
Now we know that Mr. Itol would take 9 hours to complete the task if he were to do it himself. To find how long it would take his assistant to complete the same task by himself, we just need to plug in the x-value into 2x:

Therefore, your answer is that Mr. Itol would take 9 hours to do the job alone, while his assistant will take 18 hours (double the time) to do the job alone.
Hope this helps :)
What the heck are you saying? I think you need you fix the question
Answer:
13.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the whole
The area of the whole = s^2 (the firgure is a square
s = 8
Area of the whole = 8^2 = 64
Area of the unshaded part
The 2 half circles = 1 whole circle
The radius of the 1/2 circle = 4 (eight has been cut in half)
Area of two half circles = 2* (pi r^2/2)
Area of two half circles = 2 * (pi 4^2/2)
area of two half circles = 16*pi
Area of the shaded area
Area of the shaded area = area of the whole - area of the unshaded area
Area of the shaded area = 64 - 16*pi
Area of the shaded area = 64 - 3.14*16 = 13.76
10x6=60 so 180-60=120 and 120 divided by 8 is 15 so the answer is 15 hours
