Answer:
The faster computer will complete the job in 20 minutes alone.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Time taken by both computers = 12 minutes
Time taken by slower computer = 30 minutes
Let,
x be the time taken by faster computer.
[tex]\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{30}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{5-2}{60}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3}{60}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{20}\\\\x= 20[/tex]
Hence,
The faster computer will complete the job in 20 minutes alone.
