Question
Molding Machines An older molding machine can produce 40 plastic buckets in 1 hour. A newer machine can produce 50 buckets in 1 hour. How long will it take the two machines to produce a total of 540 buckets?
Step 1
First, let's find out how many buckets both machines can produce together in 1 hour. Older machine: 40 buckets/hour Newer machine: 50 buckets/hour Together: 40 + 50 = 90 buckets/hour Show more…

Equations Involving Fractions
A new machine makes 10.000 aluminum cans three times faster than an older machine. With both machines operating, it takes $9 \mathrm{h}$ to make $10,000$ cans. How long would it take the new machine, working alone, to make $10,000$ cans?
