A basin is filled by two pipes in 12 minutes and 16 minutes respectively. Due to the obstruction of water flow after the two pip

es have been running together for some time, the 1st pipe carries 7/8 of the carrying capacity and the 2nd pipe carries 5/6 of the carrying capacity. After removing the water barrier, the tank is full in 3 minutes. How long after the flow of water in the two pipes became normal?​

Answer:

The time duration of the two pipes restricted flow before the flow became normal is 4.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The time duration for the volume, V, of the basin to be filled by one of the pipe, A, = 12 minutes

The time duration for the volume, V, of the basin to be filled by the other pipe, B, = 16 minutes

Therefore, the flow rate of pipe A = V/12

The flow rate of pipe B = V/16

Due to the restriction, we have;

The proportion of its carrying capacity the first pipe, A, carries = 7/8 of the carrying capacity

The proportion of its carrying capacity the second pipe, B, carries = 5/6 of the carrying capacity

Whereby the tank is filled 3 minutes after the restriction is removed, we have;

\dfrac{7}{8} \times \dfrac{V}{12} \times t + \dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{V}{16} \times t +  \dfrac{V}{12} \times 3 + \dfrac{V}{16} \times 3 = V

Simplifying gives;

\dfrac{(2\cdot t +7) \cdot V}{16}  = V

2·t + 7 = 16

t = (16 - 7)/2 = 4.5 minutes

Therefore, it took 4.5 seconds of the restricted flow before the the flow of water in the two pipes became normal

From a standard deck of cards, what is the probability that you choose a red card and then choose a 3 assuming you replaced the
Hunter-Best [27]
A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. Half of the deck has red cards and half has black cards. So the first probability would be 26/52, or 1/2 (simplified, it's half the deck).

Then you put the card back and choose a 3. There are 4 cards with the number 3 in the deck. So it's 4/52.

Then you multiply both the probabilities
26/52 x 4/52 = \frac{1}{2}  x  \frac{1}{13} = 1/26
