Answer=12.6
QR=9
QP=6
TU=19
TS=?
The triangles are similar, so the following equation can be made
9 6
____=____
19 x
Cross multiply
9x=114
divide both sides by 9
x=12.6 (with the 6 repeating) or 12 2/3
TS=12.6
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.
