The total number of 'machine hours' needed to complete an order is (15x8) = 120 hoursThe total number of hours worked by the broken machines = (6x3) = 18 hoursTherefore the total number of machine hours needed from the other 12 machines to complete the order = (120-18) = 102Per machine the total number of working hours therefore equals (102/12) = 8.5 hours
