Work and Time Prob

In this Work and Time problem, why were the rates of old machines added twice? Aren’t we already calculating the rate for 2 machines? As in 90 mins, both the machines collectively produced 200 widgets.

So, I guess it should either be 100/90 per machine or 200/90 for both.

The question states “two older machine can each produce”…

Oh. Sorry I didn’t read the question thoroughly. Thanks :slight_smile:
