<em>x = markers</em>
<em>y = colored pencils</em>

12x = y

x= 72
y = 6

Okay, so what I did was divide 78 by 12 (to find the number of colored pencils) which gave me 6.5. You can't have half a colored pencil, so I rounded the number down to get 6. To find the number of markers, I multiplied 12 and 6 <em>(12x = 6) </em>which gave me 72. To check my answer I added the two amounts, 72 + 6, which gave me 78.

An inlet pipe can fill an empty swimming pool in 5 hours, and another inlet pipe can fill the pool in 2 hours. How long will it
stich3 [128]

Answer:

1.42 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must take into account that the speed would be to fill a pool for a time, that this case is in hours, therefore it would be like this:

1/5 for the first pipe

1/2 for the second pipe

Now, we will use both at the same time, therefore:

1/5 + 1/2 = 1 / x

0.7 = 1 / x

x = 1 / 0.7

x = 1.42

That is to say that if we use both we will take a total of 1.42 hours
