It takes Martin 5 hours to fix a jigsaw. If Jeremy helps him, they would take 3 hours to fix the jigsaw together. How long will Jeremy take to fix the jigsaw by himself?
Solution
Martin
5h ----- 1 whole
3h ----- 3/5
Jeremy fixed the other 2/5
2/5 ----- 3h
1/5 ----- 3h/2
5/5 ----- (3h/2) x 5 = 7.5h
Answer: It will take Jeremy 7.5h
