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

What is the better buy?
White raven [17]

Answer: Option B is the cheaper deal (the 12 batteries for $14.76)

===========================================================

Explanation:

For the first deal we can say

3 batteries = 4.80 dollars

3/3 batteries = 4.80/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3

1 battery = 1.60 dollars

The unit price for the first deal is $1.60 per battery.

----------------------------------

For the second deal we could say

12 batteries = 14.76 dollars

12/12 batteries = 14.76/12 dollars .... divide both sides by 12

1 battery = 1.23 dollars

The unit price for the first deal is $1.23 per battery.

This is the cheaper deal.

----------------------------------

So in short, you're dividing the total cost over the number of items to get the unit price.
