Answer:

600 minutes or 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by looking at the net increase per minute. To find this, we can set rates for each value.

The pipe will be able to fill 1/120 of the tank in a minute, and the drain will drain 1/150 in a minute. So subtract the two:

1/120 - 1/150 = 1/600 of the tank per minute

Therefore you need 600 minutes to fill the tank, or 10 hours.

Answer:

17°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look everything you have above the horizontal line.

It's a 73° angle, plus the one you need, plus 90°. They add up to 180.

m+73+90=180, or m=17.
