Answer:

3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate of each pump = 40 gallons/min

We need to find find the number of gallons of water removed from the basement.

Solution:

Now Given:

After half an hour, the one pump burns out.

Now we know that;

1 hour = 60 mins

\frac12 hour = \frac{60}{2}=30\ mins

Now for 30 mins both the pumps were working and removing the water.

So we can say that;

Water remove for first 30 mins = 40\times2\times30=2400\ gallons

Also Given:

the second pump finishes removing the water half an hour later.

So we can say that;

Water removed for next 30 mins = 40\times 30\times1 =1200\ gallons

Now we can say that;

Total water removed from the basement is equal to sum of Water remove for first 30 mins and Water removed for next 30 mins .

framing in equation form we get;

Total water removed from the basement = 2400+1200=3600\ gallons.

Hence 3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.

Solve for these letters<br> X<br> Y<br> Z
tester [92]
Z = 140
X = 40
Y = 40
Explanation:
Z and the angle given (140 degrees) are vertical angles, and are therefore congruent
We know that x and y are vertical angles, so they are also congruent to each other
You know that together, the angles have to add up to 360
140 + 140 + x + y = 360
Another way of putting it:
360-280 = 80
Now, we have to divide by two since we need to find x AND y
80/2 = 40
Therefore, your answers for x and y are 40
To double check, you can add up the angles and see if they equal 360
140 + 140 + 40 + 40
280 + 80 = 360
