<h3>
Answer:</h3>
6 hours
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
The two hoses together take 1/3 the time (4/12 = 1/3), so the two hoses together are equivalent to 3 of the first hose.
That is, the second hose is equivalent to 2 of the first hose. Two of the first hose could fill the vat in half the time one of them can, so 6 hours.
The second hose alone can fill the vat in 6 hours.
_____
The first hose's rate of doing work is ...
... (1 vat)/(12 hours) = (1/12) vat/hour
If h is the second hose's rate of doing work, then working together their rate is ...
... (1/12 vat/hour) + h = (1/4 vat/hour)
... h = (1/4 - 1/12) vat/hour = (3/12 -1/12) vat/hour = 2/12 vat/hour
... h = 1/6 vat/hour
so will take 6 hours to fill 1 vat.
We know that the amounts earned by Dawn, Doug and Dale are from the list of numbers: $9.35, $8.52 and $8.25
We also know that Dale and Doug earned close to $9.00
And that Dawn earned $1.10 less than Dale
Let the amount earned by Dale be x
⇒ Amount earned by Dawn is x - 1.1
If we notice the list of numbers, we see that $9.35 and $8.25 differ by $1.1
Hence, Dale earned $9.35 and Dawn earned $8.25
We are now left with $8.52, which should be the amount earned by Doug. This is correct, since we also know that Doug earned close to $9.
Hence, the amounts earned are:
Dale: $9.35
Doug: $8.52
Dawn: $8.25
