Answer:

It will take 2 hours, 13 minutes and 20 seconds for both pipes to fill the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an inlet pipe can fill an empty swimming pool in 5hours, and another inlet pipe can fill the pool in 4hours, to determine how long it will take both pipes to fill the pool, the following calculation must be performed:

1/5 + 1/4 = X

0.20 + 0.25 = X

0.45 = X

9/20 = X

9 = 60

2 = X

120/9 = X

13,333 = X

Therefore, it will take 2 hours, 13 minutes and 20 seconds for both pipes to fill the pool.

What percent of a dozen is 3
Margaret [11]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages are one of several ways of describing quantities' relationships to one another. Specifying one number as a percentage of another means specifying the fraction of the second quantity the first comprises. The percentage value is the number that, divided by 100, equals that fraction. To express the percentage as a whole number, round it accordingly. Some applications, however, don't require percentages as exact whole figures.

Divide the first number the second. For instance, if you want to find what percentage 43 is out of 57, divide 43 by 57 to get 0.754386.

KiRa [710]
Turn 3 3/4 into an improper fraction, so it becomes 15/4. Then divide 15/4 by 1/3. Which would just be to multiple by the reciprocal, 15/4 times 3/1, to get 11 1/4, and since 1/4 is smaller than 1/3 the maximum number of smoothies is 11
