Answer:
Explanation:
They traveled this distance in 2 parts, essentially. Part 1 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, part 2 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, and those 2 parts taken together took them a distance of 364 km. In equation form, that looks like this:
km/hr part 1 + km/hr part 2 = 364 km
Now we need to find each part on the left side of that equation. Part 1 first:
We traveled 65 km/hr for 2 hours, so that took us
and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 1 we got
65(2) = 130 km. Good. Now onto the second part, where our unknown is.
We traveled 78 km/hr the second part for x hours, so that took us
and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 2 we got
78x km. Now we can fill in the main equation (the one in bold print)
130 km + 78x km = 364 km and subtracting 130 km from both sides:
78x km = 234 km and dividing by 78 km:
x = 3 hours. Part 2 took 3 hours. Part 1 took 2 hours, so the whole trip took 5 hours.
Answer:
Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
Explanation:
Given that
Time taken by tank when all(A+B+C) are open = 1 hr
Time taken by tank when A+C are open = 1.5 hr
Time taken by tank when B+C are open = 2 hr
If we treat as filling of tank is a work then
Work = time x rate
Lets take work is 1 unit
1 = 1(1/a+1/b+1/c) ---------1
1 = 1.5(1/a+1/c) ----------2
1 = 2(1/b+1/c) --------3
From equation 1 and 3
1=1(1/a+1/2)
a=2
Form equation 2
1 = 1.5(1/2+1/c)
c=6
From equation 3
1 = 2(1/b+1/6)
b=3
So time taken by
A is alone to fill tank is 2 hr
B is alone to fill tank is 3 hr
C is alone to fill tank is 6 hr
So
Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
