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.

TEA [102]

Answer:

without doing the math, we can affirm that the percent in decrease in the price of the gloves is <u>not</u> the same as the percent increase of the goggles. decreasing $2 from $10 will have a lower decrease than an increase of $2 from $8 since $2 represents a higher portion of $8 compared to $10
