Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The old machine could shred a truckload of paper in 4 hours.

Rate of work done by old machine = $\dfrac{1}{4}$

The new machine could shred the same truckload in 2 hours.

Rate of work done by new machine = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Let 't' be the time taken by both of them working together , then we have the following equation:-

$\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1+2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{4}{3}=1\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{ hours}$

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then, $\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{ hours}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times60=20\text{ minutes}$

Hence, it will take 1 hour 20 minutes to shred the same truckload of paper if Ron runs both shredders at the same time.
