It makes the addition easier if you combine like terms like the two 1/2s and then make them all have the denominator of 12 (changing the numerators to equal it out)
Answer:
3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rate of each pump = 40 gallons/min
We need to find find the number of gallons of water removed from the basement.
Solution:
Now Given:
After half an hour, the one pump burns out.
Now we know that;
1 hour = 60 mins
hour = 
Now for 30 mins both the pumps were working and removing the water.
So we can say that;
Water remove for first 30 mins = 
Also Given:
the second pump finishes removing the water half an hour later.
So we can say that;
Water removed for next 30 mins = 
Now we can say that;
Total water removed from the basement is equal to sum of Water remove for first 30 mins and Water removed for next 30 mins .
framing in equation form we get;
Total water removed from the basement = 
Hence 3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.
Answer:
8/3 or 2.6666
Step-by-step explanation:
You have divided the first equation by 3 -- all except the 8. So you must divide the 8 by 3 giving you 8/3 which is 2 2/3 or 2.66666
Answer (x - 2y) = 8/3
