one pump, let's call it A, fills the reservoir by 1/60 every hour. Now, B fills it by 1/80 every hour. C empties it by 1/90 every hour. All three are on, so now we combine them into one function: t(1/60 + 1/80 - 1/90) = 1, where t = the time it takes to fill it, and 1 is just our "reservoir finally filled" marker.

isolate t onto one side and we see t = 720/13 exactly, or approximately 55.38 hours. let me know if this is the wrong answer but I'm pretty sure it is correct!

Answer:

1/time needed = 1/time of 1st pump + 1/time of 2nd pump - 1/time of 3rd pump

1/t = 1/t1 + 1/t2 - 1/t3

1/t = 1/60 + 1/80 - 1/90

1/t = 12/720 + 9/720 - 8/720

1/t = 13/720

t = 720/13 hours = 55.38 hours = 55 hours 23 minutes

Convert the decimal expansion 0.1777 into a rational number
Helen [10]

Answer:

The rational form of the given number 0.1777  = \frac{1777}{10,000}

Step-by-step explanation:

The rational number is expressed as a number on the form of (\frac{p}{q} ) , q \neq 0

Now,here the given number in decimal form = 0.1777

To remove the decimal, firstly count the number of digits AFTER DECIMAL.

Here, number of digits after decimal = 4

SO, the decimal can be removed and replaced by 1 , by dividing with 1,0000.

\implies 0.1777  = \frac{01,777} {10,000}  = \frac{1777}{10,000}

Hence, the rational form of the given number 0.1777  = \frac{1777}{10,000}
