Machine A = 15 hours
Machine B = 12 hours
When working together to produce one case = \(\frac{15 * 12}{15 + 12}\) = \(\frac{180}{27}\) = \(\frac{20}{3}\) hours
To produce 9 cases = \(\frac{20}{3}\)*9 = 60 hours
Answer D
Machine B = 12 hours
When working together to produce one case = \(\frac{15 * 12}{15 + 12}\) = \(\frac{180}{27}\) = \(\frac{20}{3}\) hours
To produce 9 cases = \(\frac{20}{3}\)*9 = 60 hours

Since the two machine are working together, we can add their rates
1/15+1/12= 9/60 ==> the 2 machine can produce 9 cases in 60 minutes.
Answer is D
1/15+1/12= 9/60 ==> the 2 machine can produce 9 cases in 60 minutes.
Answer is D
