Question

Computer a takes 3 min to process an input while compiter b takes 5 min if computers a b c can process an avg ofinputs in one hour how many min.Does computer c alone take to process one input

Answer 1

yes can process one input

Answer 2

Maybe we can coin a phrase, "input-minutes"

therefore

15 inputs in 60 min = 900 input-minutes

Let c = no. of min per input for C computer

:

A shared work equation

A + B + C = 900

all working for 60 min

3(60) + 4(60 + 60c = 900

180 + 240 + 60c = 900

420 + 60c = 900

60c = 900 - 420

60c = 480

c = 480/60

c = 8 min per input for C
