A new printer can print a batch of newsletters twice as fast as an older printer. With both printers working together, the newsletters can be printed in 45 minutes. How long would it take the newer printer working alone?

Answer:

It would take 1 hr, 7 min, 30 sec for the newer printer to work alone.

Explanation:

x/1.5=45

45*1.5=67.5 minutes

67.5 minutes = 1 hr, 7 min, 30 sec
