Answer:
24 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question shows up in a great many places in math or physics, so it is a pretty good question to learn how to do.
First you should note that answer will be under 40 minutes.
1/40 + 1/60 = 1/TimeTotal
The common denominator on the left is 120 minutes
3/40*3 + 2/60*2 = 1/timetotal
3/120 + 2/120 = 1/ timetotal
5/120 = 1/time total Now to use to the key stop
What you do now is you always turn the left side over. You do the same thing to total time.
120/5 = total time
24 = total time
What this means is that if you let both pipes run for 24 minutes, they will fill the tank working together.
Solving for X.
5 = 2x^2 + 3 Subtract 3 from both sides.
2 = 2x^2 Divide by 2 on both sides.
1 = x^2 Take the square root of both sides.
X = 1
Is there any more information by any chance? Like possibly a table or chart or graph?
suppose 4:4:7 be 4x, 4x, 7x
or, 15x = 180°
or, X = 180/15
or, X = 12
therefore,
4x = 4x12= 48
4x= 4x12= 48
7x= 7x12= 84
so if you plus all of them you get 180
