if three machines working at the same rate can do 3 / 4 of a job in 30 minutes , how many minutes would it take two machines working at the same rate to do 3 / 5 of the job ?
"using the std formula m 1 d 1 h 1 / w 1 = m 2 d 2 h 2 / w 2 substituting the values we have 3 * 1 / 2 * 4 / 3 = 2 * 5 / 3 * x ( converted 30 min into hours = 1 / 2 ) 2 = 10 / 3 * x x = 3 / 5 hour so 36 minutes answer : a"
divide(divide(3, 5), multiply(divide(divide(divide(3, 4), 5), 30), const_2))
