<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 hours

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The two hoses together take 1/3 the time (4/12 = 1/3), so the two hoses together are equivalent to 3 of the first hose.

That is, the second hose is equivalent to 2 of the first hose. Two of the first hose could fill the vat in half the time one of them can, so 6 hours.

The second hose alone can fill the vat in 6 hours.

_____

The first hose's rate of doing work is ...

... (1 vat)/(12 hours) = (1/12) vat/hour

If h is the second hose's rate of doing work, then working together their rate is ...

... (1/12 vat/hour) + h = (1/4 vat/hour)

... h = (1/4 - 1/12) vat/hour = (3/12 -1/12) vat/hour = 2/12 vat/hour

... h = 1/6 vat/hour

so will take 6 hours to fill 1 vat.

Dr. W Sweet Rides Car Rental charges a flat fee of $24 and an additional $0.35 for every mile the car is driven. Which function
kompoz [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a strange rental company charging no daily fees.

but ok.

so, we have a fixed part of the cost : $24

we have to pay that no matter how many miles we drive. even for 0 miles, just to get the keys to the car.

and then we pay $0.35 for every mile driven.

that makes our function

C(x) = 0.35x + 24

and if we drive 40 miles, that makes x = 40.

C(24) = 0.35×40 + 24 = 14 + 24 = $38

it would cost us $38.
