<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>

A snack bar sells two sizes of drinks. A large drink is $5 and a small drink is $3. In one day, they sold 60 drinks for a total
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of L = $5

Cost of S = $3

No. of drinks sold = 60 drinks

Total sale = $220

Solution:

L + S = 60 - (1) (multiplying by 3)

5L + 3S = 220 - (2)

(-)3L +(-) 3S = (-)180 - (1)

2L = 40

L = 40 / 2

L = 20 Large drinks

20 + S = 60

S = 60 - 20

S = 40 small drinks

Therefore, 20 large drinks and 40 small drinks

The radius of a circle is 13miles. what is the area of a sector bounded by a 20 degree arc
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Area of the sector = 29.48 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of a circle = 13 miles

Angle bounded by the arc = 20 deg

To find

Area of the sector bounded by 20 degrees.

Note: Area of a sector = \frac{(\theta)}{360}\times \pi\times r^2

Plugging the values in the equation.

⇒ \frac{(\theta)}{360}\times \pi\times r^2

⇒ (\frac{20}{360})\times  3.14\times 13^2

⇒ 29.48 square-miles

So the area of the sector bounded by 20 degree arc is 29.48 square miles.
