题目
Machine A can produce of a ton of paintbrushes in one hour. Machine B can produce of a ton of paintbrushes in one hour. Working together at their individual rates, how long would it take the two machines to produce 2 tons of paintbrushes?
解析
两人的总效率 = \(\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{14} = \frac{7}{42} + \frac{3}{42} = \frac{10}{42} = \frac{5}{21}\) 吨/小时
我们需要生产2吨
时间 = 产量 ÷ 效率
\[
\begin{align*}
&= 2 \div \frac{5}{21} \\
&= 2 \times \frac{21}{5} \\
&= \frac{42}{5} \\
&= 8\frac{2}{5} \text{ 小时} \\
&= 8 \text{ 小时 } 24 \text{ 分钟}
\end{align*}
\]
答案:B
