PLEASE HELP

5.Two mechanics were working on your car. One can complete the given job
in six hours, but the new guy takes eight hours. They worked together for
the first two hours, but then the first guy left to help another mechanic on
a different job. How long will it take the new guy to finish your car?

I hope this is right, but I think it should take a remaining six hours for the new guy to fix your car. He worked on it for two hours with the other mechanic, but it still takes him 8 hours total to fix the car. So he still has six more hours to fix your car. Again, I hope this is right.
