Answer:

60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.

takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

<u>To find LCM of 20 and 30</u>

LCM (20, 30) = 60

<u>To find the efficiency </u>

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

x = 60/30 =2

x + y = 60 /20 = 3

Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1

so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes
