Two motor mechanics, Ravi and Raman, working together can overhaul a scooter in 6 hrs. Ravi alone can do the job in 12 hrs. In how many hrs. can Raman alone do it? ​

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For Ravi,

12 hours = 1 job

Given this, we can figure out how much Ravi does in 6 hours, and from that, we can figure out how much Raman can do in 6 hours. Finally, we can use that to figure out how many hours it would take for Raman to do the job.

12 hours = 1 job

First, to find how much Ravi does in 6 hours, we need to make the equation

6 hours = something

To do this, we know that 12/2 = 6, so we can divide both sides by 2 in the original equation to get

6 hours = 1/2 job.

Therefore, in 6 hours, Ravi does 1/2 of the job. As Raman and Ravi do the job in 6 hours, Raman must do the remaining work, or 1-1/2 = 1/2 of the job in 6 hours.

Therefore, for Raman,

6 hours = 1/2 job

We need to make the equation so that

1 job = something, as that something would be how many hours it would take for Raman to do the job. We know that 1/2 * 2 = 1, so we can multiply both sides by 2 to get

12 hours = 1 job for Raman.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
