<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.

Answer:
5 yr and 39 yr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the younger
then 7x + 4 = the age of the older
Now x + 7x + 4 = 44
8x + 4 = 44
8x = 40
x = 5
7x + 4 = 7(5) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39
Check: 5 + 39 = 44
Answer:
36in²
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Area of the White Region: </h3>
A = l * w
The rectangle is 3 by 2.
A = 3 * 2
A = 6
The white part of the rectangle is 6in².
<h3>Area of the blue region:</h3>
A = l * w
The rectangle is 6 by 7.
A = 6*7
A = 42
The blue part of the rectangle is 42in².
<h3>Area of the shaded region:</h3>
[area of the blue part] - [area of the white part]
42 - 6 = 36
The area of the shaded region should be 36in².
