Answer:

It will take 6 hours for the new pump to drain the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the complete question is not given, the complete question is found online and is attached herewith

Let the rate of new pump is given as x=W/t_1

Let the rate of the old pump is given as y=W/t_2

it is given that the time t_2=2t_1

So by substituting the values of t_2 in the rate equation of y

y=W/2t_1

y=(W/t_1*2)=x/2

Also the total rate of both the pumps is given as W/t3 where t3 is given as 4 hours so the equation becomes

x+y=W/4

x+x/2=W/4

3x/2=W/4

As x=W/t_1

3W/2t_1=W/4

Now as W is same on both sides so

3/2t_1=1/4

12=2t_1

t_1=6 hours

So it will take 6 hours for the new pump to drain the pool.

A postcard has an area of 24 square inches. Two enlargements of the postcard have areas of 54 square inches and 96 square inches
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

original is 4 & 6.

for 54 sq inch= 6 & 9 and for 96 sq inch=8 & 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length is 1.5 times the width.

so the length is, l = 1.5w ----(a)

lw = 24  =1.5w(w)

lw = 54= 1.5w(w)

lw = 96 =1.5w(w)

Further simplifying it,

1.5w^{2}=24

1.5w^{2}=54

1.5w^{2}=96

so,

w^{2} = \frac{24}{1.5}=16

w^{2}= \frac{54}{1.5} =36

w^{2}= \frac{96}{1.5} =64

taking the square root, we get:

w = 4

w = 6

w = 8

By putting the above values in eq (a), we can find their corresponding lengths:

l = 1.5(4) = 6

l = 1.5(6) = 9

l = 1.5(8) = 12

So a few lengths could be:

(l, w)

(6,4)

(9,6)

(12,8)
