A and B do a job together in two hours.Working alone A does the job in 5 hours.How long will it take B to do the job alone?
Person A does 1/5 of the job in an hour.
Person B does 1/x of the job in an hour.
A and B do 1/5+1/x of the job in an hour.
1/5+1/x = 1/2.
\(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(x=\frac{10}{3}\) hours.
You are very welcome!
