WILL GIVE ALL MY POINTS working alone, machine a takes 2 hours to build a car, working alone machine b takes 3 hours to build a car. if they work together for 1 hour and then machine b breaks, how much additional time will it take machine b to finish the job? please use the method 1/x+1/y=1/z

It will take Machine A 20 additional minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have get the rate of work per hour, Machine A builds 1/2 of a car per hour, while Machine B builds 1/3 of a car per hour.

Using this we can determine the amount of work that has been done so far in one hour before Machine B broke down:

1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

Now we can produce an equation accordingly to determine how much time it'll take machine a to finish the job:

5/6 + 1/2x = 1

1/2x = 1/6

x = 1/3 hours = 20 minutes

Note: In the question you typed "how much additional time will it take machine b to finish" but I think you meant machine a because machine b broke down. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hope this helps! And let me know if you have any questions!
