Working alone, Bill takes three times the amount of time to paint a fence that Mike takes. If Bill and Mike work together, they can paint the fence in 2 hours. If Mike works at the same rate as when he worked with Bill, how long would it take Mike working alone to paint the same fence?
2 hours and 40 minutes. If x represents the number of hours it takes Mike working alone to paint the fence, then 3x is the number of hours it takes Bill working alone to paint the fence. So 2(1/x) + 2(1/3x) = 1 gives x=8/3 hours.
