2 to the fourth power is 16
They're equal. there's no more or less
let's label each pump A, B, and C, just for convenience. A fills the tank by 1/50 every minute, B fills the tank by 1/60 every minute, and C drains it by 1/75 every minute. Now we can put them all into one function: t(1/50 + 1/60 - 1/75) = 1, where t = our time in minutes and 1 = the tank being full.
next, we solve for t: t = 300/7 minutes, or approximately 42.86 minutes.
