Question

It takes Bobby 12 hours longer to build a robot than it takes Alex. Together, they can build the Robot in 8 hours. How long does it take Bobby to build the robot by himself?

Answer 1

Answer:

24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of hours taken by Bobby to build the robot by himself is shown below:

Given that

Bobby could take 12 hours

Together they could build in 8 hours

So based on the above information

the number of hours taken by Bobby to build the robot by himself is

Let us assume the above line be x

So,

$\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{x} \\\\\frac{6 - 4}{48} = \frac{1}{x} \\\\\frac{2}{48} = \frac{1}{x} \\\\x = \frac{48}{2}$

x = 24 hours
