<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72
So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool)
</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
</span>
<span>Now solve for x
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>
Answer:
Rate of Return is 14.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 20 shares of Stock are purchased for $30 per share.
This gives us a total value of: 20 × 30 = $600.
Now, the shares are sold for $710 with a commission sale of $6. This means the final money going to the seller is; 710 – 6 = $704.
Thus, the rate of return percentage is = (704 – 600)/704) × 100% = 14.7727%
To the nearest tenth gives us 14.8%
6/8a+4,6-2/4a. I think that this is the answer.
