Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be time to fill with all pipes open

All the pipes will complete a single job that is = 1

Given is that the tank can be filled by one pipe in 4 hours and by a second pipe in 6 hours and can be drained by a third pipe in 3 hours.

So, equation forms;

\frac{t}{4}+ \frac{t}{6}- \frac{t}{3}=1

=> \frac{3t+2t-4t}{12} =1

=> \frac{t}{12} =1

And t = 12 hours

Hence, it will take 12 hours to do the job.

12 hours..........
+ - = 1
Multiply by 12 to clear the fractions
3t + 2t - 4t = 12
t = 12 hrs to fill the pool

My daughter needs help and I don't understand the question ethier.
WINSTONCH [101]

So firstly, let's figure out the expression for a singular goody bag. Since there's 2 of each item, a single goody bag is going to be (1.07*2+0.85*2+2.12*2)

Now since we have 7 friends who are all getting 1 goody bag, multiply the cost of the goody bag by 7, and our expression is 7(1.07*2+0.85*2+2.12*2) . Now we can solve it from there.

Firstly, solve the multiplication inside the parentheses: 7(2.14+1.7+4.24)

Now add up what's inside the parentheses: 7(8.08)

Lastly, multiply and <u>your answer will be $56.56</u>

Brian irons 2/9 of his shirt in 3 3/5 minutes. At this rate, how much of his shirt does he iron each minute?
vodka [1.7K]

The speed for which Brian iron the shirts is given by:

R = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{3\frac{3}{5}}

Rewriting we have:

R = \frac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{18}{5}}

R = \frac{10}{162}

Then, for each minute, we have the amount of ironed shirt is:

(\frac{10}{162})(1) = \frac{10}{162}

Answer:

At this rate, Brian plans 10/162 of his shirt.
