Anew crew of painters takes two times as long to paint a small apartment as an experienced crew. together, both crews can paint the apartment in 4 hours . how many hours does it take the experience crew to paint the apartment

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the inexperienced crew do the apartment in x hours.

Therefore it takes the experienced crew x/2 = 0.5x hours to do the same place.

x + 0.5x = 4 hours

1.5x = 4 hours

x  =  4/1.5

x = 2.67 hours.

So the inexperienced crew does the job in 2.67 hours.

The experienced crew can do it 1/2 the time which is 1.335

Total time = 4 hours.
