Answer:

Rounding to the nearest minute, it would take 95 minutes, or 1 hour and 35 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert each time to minutes:

3.2 hours = 192 minutes

80 minutes = 80 minutes

2 hr 20 min = 140 minutes

Next, let's find the least common multiple:

LCM(192, 80, 140) = 6720

So let's say the volume of the tank is 6720 units.  The speed of each pump is therefore:

Pump 1 = 6720 units / 192 minutes = 35 units/minute

Pump 2 = 6720 units / 80 minutes = 84 units/minute

Pump 3 = -6720 units / 140 minutes = -48 units/minute

Their combined speed is:

35 + 84 − 48 = 71 units/minute

So the time to fill the tank is:

6720 units / (71 units/minute) = 94.65 minutes

Rounding to the nearest minute, it would take 95 minutes, or 1 hour and 35 minutes.

Which table represents a linear function?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

  • Table 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Table 1</h3>
  • x- values change 1 to 4
  • y- values change inconsistently and repeat at -2

This is <u>not</u> a linear function

<h3>Table 2</h3>
  • x- values change 1 to 4
  • y- values change consistently, with common difference of -2

<u>This is a linear function</u>

<h3>Table 3</h3>
  • x- values change 1 to 4
  • y- values change inconsistently, the difference is not common

This is <u>not</u> a linear function

<h3>Table 4</h3>
  • x- values change 1 to 4
  • y- values change inconsistently, the difference is not common

This is <u>not</u> a linear function
