Answer:

4 Hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Your pump alone can empties the water in = 8 hrs

With the help of friend pump it take = 2.67 hr

time taken by friends to empty the whole tank = t = ?

We have,

\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{t}= \dfrac{1}{2.67}

\dfrac{1}{t}= \dfrac{1}{2.67}-\dfrac{1}{8}

\dfrac{1}{t}=0.2499

t = \dfrac{1}{0.2499}

t = 4\ hrs

Time taken to empty the tank by the friends pump alone is equal to 4 Hr.

Answer:

a ^ (1/12)

Step-by-step explanation:

a ^ (1/3)

a ^ (1/4)

We know that b^ c / b^ d = b ^ (c-d)

a^ (1/3 - 1/4)

getting a common denominator

1/3 *4/4 - 1/4*3/3 = 4/12 - 3/12

a^ (4/12 - 3/12)

a ^ (1/12)
