let's label each pump A, B, and C, just for convenience. A fills the tank by 1/50 every minute, B fills the tank by 1/60 every minute, and C drains it by 1/75 every minute. Now we can put them all into one function: t(1/50 + 1/60 - 1/75) = 1, where t = our time in minutes and 1 = the tank being full.

next, we solve for t: t = 300/7 minutes, or approximately 42.86 minutes.

A prediction from a line graph is
timurjin [86]
“Line graphs are useful in that they show data variables and trends very clearly and can help to make predictions about the results of data not yet recorded. They can also be used to display several dependent variables against one independent variable.”

“With a line graph, it is fairly easy to make predictions because line graphs show changes over a period of time. You can look at past performance in a line graph and make a prediction about future performance.”
