Answer:
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.
