An inlet pipe can fill an empty swimming pool in 5 hours, and another inlet pipe can fill the pool in 2 hours. How long will it take both pipes to fill the pool?
1 answer:
Answer:
1.42 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we must take into account that the speed would be to fill a pool for a time, that this case is in hours, therefore it would be like this:
1/5 for the first pipe
1/2 for the second pipe
Now, we will use both at the same time, therefore:
1/5 + 1/2 = 1 / x
0.7 = 1 / x
x = 1 / 0.7
x = 1.42
That is to say that if we use both we will take a total of 1.42 hours

I think the answer is 75.6 because i divided 36 cards by 5 folders and i got 1.2. And then i divided 372 extra cards by 5 folders am got 74.4. I add the two total and have 75.6
5/36 = 1.2 5/372 = 74.4
1.2+74.4= 75.6 srry if I'm wrong
