I am not sure, but this is what I got:
 <span>Pipe ALONE = 18 hours 

Pipe ALONE in 1 hour = 1/18 of the pool 

Hose ALONE in 1 hour = 1/25 of the pool 

TOGETHER in 1 HOUR = 1/18 +1/25 = 43/450 

TOGETHER they will fill the pool in 450/43 hours 

So 5/6 of the pool will take 5/6 X 450/43 = 2250/ 258 = 8.7209302 hours OR 

8 hours AND 43.26 minutes ANSWER

Hope this helps!

Well I don't know.
Let's think about it:

-- There are 6 possibilities for each role.
    So 36 possibilities for 2 rolls.
    Doesn't take us anywhere.

New direction:
-- If the first roll is odd, then you need another odd on the second one.
-- If the first roll is even, then you need another even on the second one.
This may be the key, right here !

-- The die has 3 odds and 3 evens.

-- Probability of an odd followed by another odd = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
-- Probability of an even followed by another even = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4

I'm sure this is it.  I'm a little shaky on how to combine those 2 probs.

Ah hah ! 
Try this:

Probability of either 1 sequence or the other one is (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2 .

That means ... Regardless of what the first roll is, the probability of
the second roll matching it in oddness or evenness is 1/2 .

So the probability of 2 rolls that sum to an even number is 1/2 = 50% .

Is this reasonable, or sleazy ?

How to solve -2(x+3)=8​
Shtirlitz [24]
-2(x + 3) = 8

Multiply -2 with x and 3

-2x -6 = 8

Now add 6 to both sides

-2x -6 = 8
+6 +8

-2x = 16

Lastly divide -2 from both sides to find x


-2x = 16
—— —-
-2x -2x


X = -8
