Let’s check out your problem:

Machine XX, working alone at its constant rate, produces 600600 parts in 33 hours. Machine YY, working alone at its constant rate, produces 600600 same parts in 22 hours. Machine ZZ, working alone at its constant rate, produces 600600 same parts in 66 hours. To produce 600600 same parts, Machine XX and YY worked together for 60060022 hour, and then Machine ZZ worked alone. For how many hours would Machine ZZ run to produce the remaining parts?

Full solution

Q. Machine XX, working alone at its constant rate, produces 600600 parts in 33 hours. Machine YY, working alone at its constant rate, produces 600600 same parts in 22 hours. Machine ZZ, working alone at its constant rate, produces 600600 same parts in 66 hours. To produce 600600 same parts, Machine XX and YY worked together for 60060022 hour, and then Machine ZZ worked alone. For how many hours would Machine ZZ run to produce the remaining parts?
  1. Calculate Machine Rates: Calculate the rate of production for each machine:\newlineMachine X: 600 parts3 hours=200 parts per hour\frac{600 \text{ parts}}{3 \text{ hours}} = 200 \text{ parts per hour}\newlineMachine Y: 600 parts2 hours=300 parts per hour\frac{600 \text{ parts}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 300 \text{ parts per hour}\newlineMachine Z: 600 parts6 hours=100 parts per hour\frac{600 \text{ parts}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 100 \text{ parts per hour}
  2. Combine Machine X and Y: Determine the combined rate of Machine X and Y: 200parts/hour+300parts/hour=500parts/hour200 \, \text{parts/hour} + 300 \, \text{parts/hour} = 500 \, \text{parts/hour}
  3. Calculate Production in 11 Hour: Calculate how many parts Machine XX and YY produce together in 11 hour:\newline500500 parts/hour ×1\times 1 hour =500= 500 parts
  4. Find Remaining Parts: Find out how many parts are left for Machine Z to produce: 600600 parts - 500500 parts == 100100 parts
  5. Calculate Time for Machine Z: Calculate the time it takes for Machine Z to produce the remaining 100100 parts:\newline100100 parts // 100100 parts/hour == 11 hour
