The first hamster took 8 minutes while the second hamster tool 20 minutes.

Equation

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the time required for the first hamster and y the time for the second hamster.

x = y + 8    (1)

(1/x + 1/y)7.5 = 1

[1/(y + 8) + 1/y ]7.5 = 1

y = 12 minutes

x = 12 + 8 = 20 minutes

The first hamster took 8 minutes while the second hamster tool 20 minutes.
