To solve this problem we will start by calculating time needed for each of them to fill the pool.

We have formula:
Volume = rate * time
Or
time = volume / rate

Wilma:
time = 9900 / 900
time = 11h

Betty:
time = 9900 / 500
time = 19.8h

Now we substract these two numbers:
time_difference = 19.8 - 11 = 8.8h

Betty needs 8.8 hours more than Wilma to fill the pool.

How do you grow your own equations
natita [175]
You can formulate your own equations by analyzing the given problem and its statements. You can do some illustrations so you can understand it better. Introduce some variables and the rest is algebra. For example:

An orange costs $2 while a banana costs $1.5. How many oranges and bananas do you have to buy such that the total cost would equal to $20. You bought a total of 12 fruits.

First, you have to introduce variables. Let 'x' be the number of oranges and 'y' be the number of bananas. One equation you can get from here is knowing the amount of total cost: 2x + 1.5y = 20. Then, the other equation would be knowing the amount of fruits: x+y=12. You have two unknowns and two equations. Hence, you can solve the problem. Solving them simultaneously, you would get that x=4 and y=8.
