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.

Into how many segments do n points divide a given line segment?
yulyashka [42]
n points would divide a given line into n+1 segments.

Just assume that you have a line and you added a point to that line, this point would divide your line into two segments.
If you add two points to a line, these two points would divide your line into three segments.
So the number of segments is always greater that the number of points by 1.
