Answer:
1 69/145 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratio's to solve this problem. We will put water over time
214 cups x cups
--------------- = --------------
145 hours 1 hours
Using cross products
214 *1 =145 x
Divide both sides by 125
214/145 = 145x/145
214/145 = x
145 goes into 215 1 time with 69 left over
1 69/145

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.
