Answer:The solution is in the attached file
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start with subtracting 7040 from 20,000, getting us 12960 gallons remaining, If 720 gallons per hour are coming, we can make the equation 12960 = 720h, with h as hours. Next, we can divide both sides by 720, getting us 18. It will take 18 hours to fill the pool.
Lets consider SAM's age is 'x' and Hank's age is 'y'
So as per given data Sam's age is 5/3 times of Hank's age
so x = 5/3 * y
3x = 5y --> equation 1
and also sum of their ages is 24
so, x + y = 24
we need to find Hank's age (y)
so x = 24 - y
Now replace x value in equation 1
3(24-y) = 5y
72-3y = 5y
72 = 3y+5y
8y= 72
y= 72/8
y = 9 years.
So the Hank's age is 9 years
.
Answer:
it should be the negative repirocal of -2 so 1/2
