Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

The money shared by Ben and Carol was split ...

... Ben : Carol = 1 : 3

The difference of these ratio numbers is 2, and the difference in amount received is $6. Thus, each ratio unit must stand for $6/2 = $3.

... Ben received 1×$3 = $3

_____

<em>The Rest of the Story</em>

Carol received 3×$3 = $9. Together, Ben and Carol received $3 + 9 = $12, which is 4/5 of the total amount. Then the 1/5 of the total amount that Alice received is

... (1/5)×$12/(4/5) = (1/4)×$12 = $3.

The $15 of money was split ...

... Alice : Ben : Carol = $3 : $3 : $9

Pumps A, B, and C operate at their respective constant rates. Pumps A and B, operating simultaneously, can fill a certain tank i
shepuryov [24]

Answer:D) 1 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pump A and B can fill tank in \frac{6}{5} hr

Pump A and C can fill tank in \frac{3}{2} hr

Pump B and C can fill tank in 2 hr

Let A be the total hr taken A therefore rate of A=\frac{1}{A} /hr

Let B be the total hr taken B therefore rate of B=\frac{1}{B} /hr

Let C be the total hr taken C therefore rate of C=\frac{1}{C} /hr

\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}=\frac{5}{6}-----1

\frac{1}{B}+\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{2}-----2

\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{C}=\frac{2}{3}-----3

Adding 1,2 & 3

2(\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}+\frac{1}{C})=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}

\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}+\frac{1}{C}=\frac{2}{2}

\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}+\frac{1}{C}=1

thus time taken by A,B and C combined is 1 hr
