Answer: the answer is B which is $609.50
Step-by-step explanation:
I mean the equation is already set up all there is to do is solve put it in the calculator and you should get $609.50
The first pipe fills 1/8 of a pool in one hr.
The second pipe fills 1/4 of a pool in one hr.
(1/8+1/4)2= 3/4 done by the first two pipes in 2 hours.
Therefore the last pipe must do 1 1/4 of the filling in 2 hours, which is 5/8 per hour.
5/8x=1
x=8/5
It takes the third pipe 1 hour and 36 minutes to fill it by itself.
