-- The filler pipe can fill 1/6 of the pool every hour.
-- The drainer pipe can drain 1/10 of the pool every hour.
-- When they're filling and draining at the same time, the filler pipe
will win eventually, because it finishes more of the pool in an hour
than what the drain pipe can finish in an hour.
-- When they're filling and draining at the same time, then every hour,
1/6 of the pool fills and 1/10 of it empties. The difference is (1/6) - (1/10).
To do that subtraction, we need a common denominator.
The smallest denominator that works is 30.
1/6 = 5/30
1/10 = 3/30 .
So in every hour, 5/30 of the pool fills, and 3/30 of the pool empties.
The result of both at the same time is that 2/30 = 1/15 fills each hour.
If nobody notices what's going on and closes the drain pipe, it will take
<em><u>15 hours</u></em> to fill the pool.
If the drain pipe had <em><u>not</u></em> been open, the filler pipe alone could have filled
the pool <em><u>2-1/2 times</u></em> in that same 15 hours. With both pipes open,
1-1/2 pool's worth of water went straight down the drain during that time,
and it was wasted.
I would say that the school should take the cost of 1-1/2 poolsworth out
of Ms. Charles' pay at the rate of $5 a week. I would, but that would
guarantee her more job security than she deserves after pulling a stunt
like that.
I hope this did not take place in California.

Step-by-step explanation:
Do the crossing out method. so if it is 2.50 per pound for peaches, try A, 11 pounds. 2.50 times 11 is 27.5, and now we have the rest, 154 pounds as apples so we multiply it by 1.75 which is 269.5, we add them up and we dont get 337.50, so we try out b, 18 times 2.5 is 45 so we still have 147 pounds left for apples, multiply it by 1.75 which is 257.25 and if we add up 45 and 257.25 we dont get 337.5 so now we try c which is 65, multiply it by 2.5 its 162.5 and we have 100 pounds of apples left. we do the same and we get 175, 175 plus 162.5 is 337.5 so C/3 is the correct answer
Answer:
You plug in numbers into the y=mx+b equation and solve for which ever one you are finding for.
m=slope
x=x intercept
b=y intercept
apply the numbers to this equation and solve or x
