For 4 h and 48 min. The first pipe fills the whole pool for 8 hours so from here we see that it fills 1/8 each hour. The second pipe fills it for 12 hours so it fills 1/12 each hour. Now both of them together fill 1/8 + 1/12 of the pool each hour. That equals: 1st pipe 3/24 of the pool each hour and the 2nd pipe 2/24 of the pool each hour. So, the two pipes together fill 3/24 + 2/24 each hour. That's 5/24 of the pool each hour.
1st hour: 5/24
2nd hour: 10/24
3rd hour: 15/24
4th hour: 20/24
And we need 4/24 more. So, if 5/24 is 1 h, then 1/24 is (60 minutes/5) 12 minutes. We need 4*1/24 and that is 12 minutes * 4 and that is 48 minutes.

So, they will fill the pool for 4 h and 48 min.

Yo can someone do this for me ty i’m too lazy to do this myself
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

1. 8 + 4 = 12 x 6 = 72

2. 9 + 6 = 15 x 4 = 60

3. 11 + 8 = 19 x 6 = 114

4. 4 + 6 = 10 x 5 = 50

5. 7 + 3 = 10 x 8 = 80

6. 8 + 12 = 20 x 9 = 180

7. 5 + 10 = 15 x 8 = 120

8. 19 + 13 = 32 x 10 = 320

9. 3 + 6 = 9 x 2 = 18
