I am not sure, but this is what I got:
<span>Pipe ALONE = 18 hours
Pipe ALONE in 1 hour = 1/18 of the pool
Hose ALONE in 1 hour = 1/25 of the pool
TOGETHER in 1 HOUR = 1/18 +1/25 = 43/450
TOGETHER they will fill the pool in 450/43 hours
So 5/6 of the pool will take 5/6 X 450/43 = 2250/ 258 = 8.7209302 hours OR
8 hours AND 43.26 minutes ANSWER
</span>
Hope this helps!
26 by 9
Area = L*W
Area = 26 * 9
Area = 234 square feet but there are 2 such walls
Area = 234 * 2
Area = 468 square feet total for these walls.
18 by 9
Area = L*W
Area = 18 * 9
Area = 162 square feet
Total area = 468 + 162 = 630 square feet.
1 gallon covers 250 square feet
x gallon covers 630 square feet
1/x = 250/630
250 x = 1 * 630
x = 630 / 250
x = 2.52 gallons. It is best that she buy 3 gallons of paint.
