Answer: It will take the largest pipe 5.5 hours to fill the swimming pool alone.

It will take the smallest pipe 16.5 hrs to fill the swimming pool alone.

It will take the other pipe 11 hours to fill the pool alone.

Step-by-step explanation: let time needed to fill the swimming pool by the largest pipe be x ... eq (1)

Let time needed to fill the swimming pool by the smallest pipe be 3x ... eq(2)

Let time needed to fill the swimming pool by the other pipe be 2x ...eq(3)

The job to be done (to fill a swimming pool) be 3/x +3/3x+3/2x=1 ... eq(4)

Multiply 6x on both sides you will get:

6(3)+2(3)+3(3)=6x

18+6+9=6x

33=6x

33/6=x

X=5.5hours

Substitute x=5.5 into EQ 2 and 3

3x=3×5.5=16.5hours

2x=2×5.5=11hours

Check: substitute the value of x into eq3/5.5+3/16.5+3/11

0.545+0.182+0.273=0.9997=1

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes of the bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two sizea of avocados are being sold, since the regular size is being sold for $0.84 each, let the price for the bigger avocado be $x.

Then note the following:

1. How bigger than the smaller avocado is the bigger one?

This would determine if the price for the bigger one is a bargain, or a mistake.

If for instance, the bigger avocado is double the size of the smaller one, then for any price, $x less that $1.68 (twice of $0.84), it is a bargain.

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.
