<span>30 hours For this problem, going to assume that the actual flow rate for both pipes is constant for the entire duration of either filling or emptying the pool. The pipe to fill the pool I'll consider to have a value of 1/12 while the drain that empties the pool will have a value of 1/20. With those values, the equation that expresses how many hour it will take to fill the pool while the drain is open becomes: X(1/12 - 1/20) = 1 Now solve for X X(5/60 - 3/60) = 1 X(2/60) = 1 X(1/30) = 1 X/30 = 1 X = 30 To check the answer, let's see how much water would have been added over 30 hours. 30/12 = 2.5 So 2 and a half pools worth of water would have been added. Now how much would be removed? 30/20 = 1.5 And 1 and half pools worth would have been removed. So the amount left in the pool is 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 And that's exactly the amount needed.</span>

The fastest growing plant on record is the hesperoyucca whipplei. suppose a plant of this type grows 3.6 m in 14 days. what is i
tatyana61 [14]
To get the speed of growth of plant we proceed as follows;
rate=(distance)/(time taken)
distance( length) of growth of the plant in 14 days is 3.6 m.
1 day=86400 sec
14 days=86400x14=1,209,600 sec

1 m=1000000 micrometer
3.6 m=3600000 micrometer
thus the rate of growth will be:
3600000/1209600
=2.9762 micrometers per second

Valuate the xpression 4(10-4) power of 2 devided by 4
liq [111]

Hence, the value of the expression is 36.

Solution:

Step 1: Given expression is 4(10-4)^{2} \div 4.

BODMAS means do Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction

Step 2: Using BODMAS rule first simplify the expression which is in bracket.

⇒ 4(10-4)^{2} \div 4=4(6)^2\div4

Step 3: Squaring of the number 6.

⇒ 4(6)^2\div4=4\times36\div4

Step 4: Using BODMAS rule, divide 36 by 4.

⇒ 4\times36\div4=4\times9

Step 5: Using BODMAS rule, multiply 4 with 9.

⇒ 4\times9=36

Hence, the value of the expression is 36.
