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.

Please help me with the question
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's at the same time of the day, the ratio between the height of the person and the shadow they cast will stay the same. So the man's height to shadow ratio is 6:8 = 3:4. The son's height to shadow ratio would be the same so x:4 = 3:4 therefore his height is 3 feet.

when your finding the area of a rectangle do you multiply the numbers around the perimeter or add them.
Flura [38]
When you are finding the area, you multiply the length x the width. So for example, we have a rectangle that the length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet. So, first of all we multiply 6x4= 24. Since its area don't forget it is Square Feet (or any other type of measurement).

Hope it helps!

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. If x+y=3 and 3x+5y=13, then x-y is equal to?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

(1,2)

y=2

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=3

3x+5y=13

solve the equation

x=3-y

3x+5y=13

substitute the value of x into an equation

3(3-y)+5y=13

distribute

9-3y+5y=13

add -3y to 5y

9+2y=13

subtract 9 from both sides

2y=4

divide both sides by 2

y=2

substitute the value of y into an equation

x=3-2

subtract 3 to 2

x=1

--------

(1,2)

--------
