Answer: (D) 3.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t_A= Time taken by one outlet to fill the pool.

t_B=Time taken by second outlet to fill the pool.

Given : The time taken by one outlet to fill the entire pool : t_A= 9 hours

The time taken by second outlet to fill the entire pool : t_B= 5 hours

Now , if both outlets are used at the same time, approximately what is the number of hours required to fill the pool (T) , then the time required to fill the pool will be :_

\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{1}{t_A}+\dfrac{1}{t_B}\\\\\Rightarrow =\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{9+5}{(9)(5)}=\dfrac{14}{45}\\\\\Rightarrow\ T=\dfrac{45}{14}=3.21428571429\approx3.21

Hence, the approximate time taken by both outlets to fill the pool together = 3.21 hours.

Thus , the correct option is  (D) 3.21

AleksandrR [38]

Answer: B, 1 mile / 5280 ft.

Step-by-step explanation: If you need to convert feet to miles the unit multiplier (ratio) that you use should have miles on top and feet on the bottom so that the feet cancel when you multiply, leaving miles as the unit. B is the only answer that has miles on top and feet on the bottom as well as the correct amounts (1 mile and 5280 ft).
