<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour 
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour 
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72 

So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool) 

</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
 </span>
<span>Now solve for x 
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>

The table shows how many shirts four garment factories made and how long it took to make them. The relationship between the numb
german
If you would like to know the production rate of factory E, you can calculate this using the following steps:

Factory   Number of days   Number of shirts
A             2                            600
B             3                            900
C             4                            1200
D             5                            1500

Factory E can make shirts at the same rate as the first four factories:
600 shirts / 2 days = 300 shirts per day
900 shirts / 3 days = 300 shirts per day
1200 shirts / 4 days = 300 shirts per day
1500 shirts / 5 days = 300 shirts per day

Factory E will make 1800 shirts in 6 days, therefore 1800 / 6 = 300 shirts per day.

The correct result would be:
Factory   Number of days   Number of shirts
E             6                            1800
