It takes 3 identical water pumps 8 hours to fill a pool. How long would it take 4 of

Mathematics
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 identical pumps working to fill a pool. If it takes them working  together 8 hours to fill the pool, the equation is:

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{8} and

\frac{3}{x}=\frac{1}{8} . Cross multiply to get

x = 24, which is the number of hours it will take one pump to do the job all alone. If this be the case, and we have 4 pumps WORKING AT THE SAME TIME, filling the pool will be <u>the number of hours it takes one pump</u> divided by <u>4</u>.

4 pumps can do the job in 6 hours.

The area of a piece of land that is in the shape of a triangle is 1/12 square mile. One dimension of this piec of land is 4/21.
Arisa [49]

Answer:

D2=21/24 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Her it is not specified if it is base or height, it only talks about dimensions, so let's work with dimensions

A=1/12 mile^{2}

D1=4/21mile, D2=?

Area of a triangle A=\frac{b.h}{2}

A=((D1*D2)/2) → 2A=D1*D2 → D2=2A/D1 so D2=(2*1/12)/(4/21) =(1/6)/(4/21) = (1*21)/(6*4)=21/24 mile
