Answer: 6\ minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the following formula:

\frac{T}{A}+\frac{T}{B}=1

You can say that "T" is the time (in minutes) for both faucets working together, "A" is the time (in minutes) for cold water faucet working alone and "B" is the time (in minutes) for hot water faucet working alone.

Based on the data given in the exercise, you can identify that:

T=2\\A=3

Therefore, substituting these values into the formula and solving for "B", you get that this is:

\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{B}=1\\\\\frac{2}{B}=1-\frac{2}{3}\\\\\frac{2}{B}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\2=\frac{1}{3}B\\\\2*3=B\\\\B=6

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

546 manogoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Sadie has mangos and watermelons in a ratio of 91:11.

We need to find the number of mangoes if she has 66 watermelons.

It means that,

11x = 66

x = 6

So,

Mangoes = 91x

= 91(6)

= 546

Hence, there are 546 mangoes.
