Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think of this problem as a "work" problem and use the formula:

work = rate x time

Let p be the rate of a single pump.  So the total rate of 3 pumps is 3p. And the total time is 8 hours, so the work needed to fill a pool is:

work = 3p x 8 = 24p

We need 24p to fill up a pool.

So what happens when you have 4 pumps? That is a rate of 4p.  So how much time is needed to fill up a pool that requires 24p of work?

Solve by using the work = rate x time equation:

24p = 4p x t

6 = t

6 hours.

Answer:

C. They have the  same chance of winning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability (2 tails) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

Probability( 2 heads = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.

Therefore the Probability  they match = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2.

The probability of  they don't match = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 because all probabilities add up to 1. There are only 4 possible results and their probabilities must add up to 1.
