Question

One pipe fills a barrel in 1 hour while another pipe can fill the same barrel in 2 hours. How many minutes will it take to fill the tank if both pipes are used

Answer 1

It will take 2/3 hour or 40 minutes to fill the tank if both pipes are used.

Let pi be pipe 1 and pi2 be pipe 2

pi = 1 / 1

pi2 = 1 / 2

together = 1/1 + 1/2 ;

3/2 time ; 2/3 hour.

It will take 2/3 hour or 40 minutes to fill the tank if both pipes are used.
