A swimming pool holds 480,000 liters of water. The pool has two drainage pipes. When the pool is completely full, the first pipe

alone can empty it in 160 minutes, and the second pipe alone can empty it in 240 minutes. When both pipes are draining together, how long does it take them to empty the pool?

The answer is 96 min, here is why:

x / 240 + x / 160 = 1 
<span>2x + 3x = 480 </span>
<span>5x = 480 </span>
<span>x = 96 min

(</span><span>Drainage rate of first pipe = 480000/240 = 2000 l/min </span>
<span>Drainage rate of second tube = 480000/160 = 3000 l/min </span>
<span>Combined drainage rate = 5000 l/min </span>
<span>Time to drain = 480000/5000 = 96 min. )</span>

What is the measure of an angle if it is 260 degrees less than six times its own complement?
poizon [28]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles have a sum of 90.

y = 90 - x

The angle is 260 degrees less than six times its complement.

y = 6x - 260

90 - x = 6x - 260

350 - x = 6x

350 = 7x

50 = x

This is the measure of the complement.

y = 90 - x

y = 90 - 50

y = 40

This is the measure of the first angle.

greg invested $20 and qudrupled his money in five years.sabrena also invested $20 and after five years the amount was eqaul to 2
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The money of Greg after five years is $80

The money of Sabrena after five years is $160,000

So,The money of Sabrena is more than Greg after five years .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Greg invested $20 and quadrupled his money in five years

Let the quadrupled money after five years = $x

∵ quadrupled means the money becomes 4 times of previous

So, x = $20 × 4

i.e x = $80

So, The money of Greg after five years is $80

Again

Sabrena invested $20 and after five years money becomes 20 to the fourth power

Let the money after 20 to the fourth power = $y

So, y = 20^{4}

i.e y = 160,000

So, The money of Sabrena after five years is $160,000

∵ Sabrena money is more than Greg money

Hence, The money of Sabrena is more after five years . Answer
