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.

Anna, Beth and Colleen are softball players. This season, Anne had 65 base hits in 160 at-bats. Beth batting average was 0.399,
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Anne is the best hitter as she has the best hitting average of 0.406

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne hits 65 bases out of 160 at - bats.

Beth's betting average = 0.399

Collin's hit = 40%

Now, we need to convert all the three hitting rates into same parameters to compare them with each other.

Average hit rate of Anne = \frac{\textrm{Total numberof base}}{\textrm{Total number of  at - bats}}

= \frac{65}{160}  = 0.406

⇒The betting average of Anne = 0.406

Now, The hit - rate of Collin = 40%

Converting the percentage rate into decimal, we get the hit rate of Collin

= \frac{40}{100}  = 0.40

Hence, we get that Hitting Average of :

<u>Anne = 0.406</u>,  Beth = 0.3999 and Collin = 0.400

Hence, from the above data Anne is the best hitter as she has the best hitting average of 0.406.

Richard practiced each of 3 piano solos for 5/12 hour. how long did he practice in all?
maksim [4K]
You are given Richard’s piano practice for 3 piano solos. Every piano sol he makes takes 5/12 hour. You are asked to find how long Richard is going to practice his piano solo. So we have for every 1 piano solo he makes this is equal to 5/12 hours. This can be best represented by ratio and proportion.  

1 piano solo/(5/12 hour) = 3 piano solo/(number of hours)
Number of hours = 3 piano solo/ (1 piano solo/5/12 hours)
<u>Number of hours = 5/4 hours or 1.25 hours.</u>

A light flashes every 1 minute 15 seconds. another flashes every 1 minute 40 seconds. suppose they flash together at certain tim
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the response to this question, it would be required to convert both times to seconds alone.

For the first, the time It takes to flash is 1 minute 15 seconds which is same as 75 seconds

For the second, it takes 1 minute 40 seconds which is same as 100 seconds.

Now to get the time they would flash together, we need to know their lowest common multiples. The values involved are 75 and 100. Thus, the lowest common multiple of both is 300.

This is equivalent to 300 seconds which is 5 minutes time
