Answer:

8 \frac{4}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of weeks taken for empty the lake is shown below:

Given that

Lake empty in 6 weeks

The River could fill the lake in 20 weeks

Let us assume the combined lake be x

So, here the equation is

\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{20}  = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{20 - 6}{6\times 20} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{14}{6\times 20} = \frac{1}{x}

After solving this

x = \frac{60}{7} \\\\= 8 \frac{4}{7}

hence the number of weeks that take for empty the lake is 8 \frac{4}{7}
