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:

\frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

a^{m} × a^{n} = a^{(m+n)}, \frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} } = a^{(m-n)}, (a^m)^{n} = a^{mn}

Simplifying the product of the first 2 terms

\frac{a^{p^2+pq} }{a^{pq+q^2} } × \frac{a^{q^2+qr} }{a^{qr+r^2} }

= a^{p^2-q^2} × a^{q^2-r^2}

= a^{p^2-r^2}

Simplifying the third term

5((a^p+r)^{p-r}

= 5a^{(p+r)(p-r)} = 5a^{(p^2-r^2)}

Performing the division, that is

\frac{a^{(p^2-r^2)} }{5a^{(p^2-r^2)} } ← cancel a^{(p^2-r^2)} on numerator/ denominator leaves

= \frac{1}{5}
