Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
Answer:
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 30cm , find its area. W=5 FOR THE WIDTH. 5*10=50 FOR THE AREA.

Answer:
31.42 cm (rounded up to two decimal places)
Step-by-step explanation:
We first find the circumference of the semi-circle segment:
The circumference will be given by; 
× π × D (where D is the diameter)
The diameter is 6 cm so circumference is;
× π × 6 cm = 9.42 cm (rounded up to two decimal places)
The perimeter of the figure therefore is;
8cm + 6 cm + 8 cm + 9.42 cm = 31.42 cm
