First, we determine the number of onions bought by Amanda using the given ratio above,

      O1 = (60 lbs potato)(4.5 lbs onion/18 lbs potato)
       O1 = 15 lbs onions

This should also be the same as the amount of onions bought by Jessica. With this, we can then determine the amount of broccoli bought by Jessica given the ratios.

         B = (15 lbs onions)(18 lbs broccoli/4 lbs onions)
                 B = 67.5 lbs broccoli.

Answer: 67.5 lbs broccoli

An inlet pipe can fill an empty swimming pool in 5hours, and another inlet pipe can fill the pool in 4hours. How long will it ta
yan [13]

Answer:

It will take 2 hours, 13 minutes and 20 seconds for both pipes to fill the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an inlet pipe can fill an empty swimming pool in 5hours, and another inlet pipe can fill the pool in 4hours, to determine how long it will take both pipes to fill the pool, the following calculation must be performed:

1/5 + 1/4 = X

0.20 + 0.25 = X

0.45 = X

9/20 = X

9 = 60

2 = X

120/9 = X

13,333 = X

Therefore, it will take 2 hours, 13 minutes and 20 seconds for both pipes to fill the pool.
