Answer:3 minutes

Nataly Graves · Answer 2

1. Time with Older Computer (OC) = 2 time with New Computer (NC)

2. OC + NC = 10 MIN.

replacing 1. in 2. OC + OC/2 = 10 min.

1.5 OC = 10min

OC=6.66 MIN

NC = 3,33 MIN.

If we replace NC with OC, 3,33 min will take 2 times (6,66 min)

Total Time = 6,66 + 6,66 = 13,33 min
