解析 Both machines began their respective cycles at 12 noon on Monday and continued until 12 noon on the following Saturday. Note that 1 day has 24 hours and 2 days have 48 hours.
Machine A operates on a cycle of 20 hours of work followed by 4 hours of rest, so it was at rest from 8 o’clock in the morning until 12 noon every day from Tuesday to Saturday.
Machine B operates on a cycle of 40 hours of work followed by 8 hours of rest, so it was at rest from 4 o’clock in the morning until 12 noon on Wednesday and Friday.
Thus both machines were at rest from 8 o’clock in the morning until 12 noon on Wednesday and Friday. The correct answer consists of Choices C and E.
This explanation uses the following strategies.
Strategy 1: Translate from Words to an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation
Strategy 7: Find a Pattern
