One pipe fills a storage pool in 20 hours, another pipe fills the same pool in 15 hours.

1 answer:

6 0

X=time of the third person it would take to fill the pool
We can suggest this equation:
6[(1/20) + (1/15) +(1/x)]=1
6[(3x+4x+60)/60x]=1
(7x+60)/10x=1
7x+60=10x
7x-10x=-60
-3x=-60
x=-60/-3
x=20

Answer: the third person alone would fill the pool in 20 hours .

If 1 ft = 1.894 x 10 -4miles, convert 20.0 inches to miles

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

3.1567 * 10^-4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ft = 1.894 * 10^-4 miles , so

1 inch = 1.894 * 10^-4 / 12 miles

= 0.15783 * 10^-4

= 1.5783* 10^-5 miles ( in scientific form).

Multiplying this by 20 we get

31.567 * 10^-5

= 3.1567 * 10^-4 miles.
