X= brother's height

Multiply 2/3 by the brother's height (x). This equals the sister's 48 inch height.

2/3x= 48
divide both sides by 2/3
x= 48 ÷ 2/3
multiply by the reciprocal of 2/3
x= 48 * 3/2
x= (48*3)/2
x= 144/2
x= 72 inches, the brother's height

ANSWER: The brother is 72 inches tall.

Hope this helps! :)

Pumps A, B, and C operate at their respective constant rates. Pumps A and B, operating simultaneously, can fill a certain tank i

shepuryov [24]

Answer:D) 1 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pump A and B can fill tank in $\frac{6}{5} hr$

Pump A and C can fill tank in $\frac{3}{2} hr$

Pump B and C can fill tank in $2 hr$

Let A be the total hr taken A therefore rate of $A=\frac{1}{A} /hr$

Let B be the total hr taken B therefore rate of $B=\frac{1}{B} /hr$

Let C be the total hr taken C therefore rate of $C=\frac{1}{C} /hr$

$\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}=\frac{5}{6}$ -----1

$\frac{1}{B}+\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{2}$ -----2

$\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{C}=\frac{2}{3}$ -----3

Adding 1,2 & 3

$2(\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}+\frac{1}{C})=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}+\frac{1}{C}=\frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{1}{A}+\frac{1}{B}+\frac{1}{C}=1$

thus time taken by A,B and C combined is 1 hr
