Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the volume of the pool by V.

If the larger hose takes 50 minutes to fill the pool, the amount of water this hose fills is V/50

Let's call the amount of time the small hole takes to fill the pool on its own by T, so its speed is V/T

The two holes together fill the pool in 30 minutes, so their speed summed is V/30:

V/50 + V/T = V/30

Dividing the equation by V, we have:

1/50 + 1/T = 1/30

(3T + 150)/150T = 5T/150T

3T + 150 = 5T

2T = 150

T = 75 minutes

Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the time it will take a smaller hose out of two hoses to fill a swimming pool by itself.

Firstly, let’s say the volume of the swimming pool to fill is Xm^3.

Hence for both, the rate of filling is x/30 m^3/minutes. For the larger hose, rate will be x/50 m^3/minutes. For the larger hose, let the time taken be z minutes. It’s rate will be x/z m^3/minute.

Mathematically, adding both rates together give the rate of both at the same time. This means;

X/30 = x/50 + x/z

X/z = x/30 - c/50

x/z = 20/1500

x/z = 1/75

z = x/75

This means the time that it will take the smaller hose will be 75 minutes

How o I get the awnser to 9s+3=57 I need help asap im in 8th grade
PIT_PIT [208]
First subtract 3 from both sides of the equal sign. 
9s + 3 = 57
      - 3     -3
9s = 54

Then divide both sides by 9.
9s = 54
/9     /9
s = 6

You can check it by plugging it back into the equation.
9s + 3 = 57
9 * 6  + 3= 57
54 + 3 = 37
57 = 57
Yep! It's correct! :)

Hope that helped. Algebra can be tricky sometimes I know but it's really just balancing equations.
