Both pools will have the same amount of water after 11 minutes and 32 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Team Sunshine is filling an inflatable kiddie pool from a garden hose, and the pool has 30 gallons in it and Team Sunshine is adding 8 gallons per minute with a garden hose, while next door, Team Breeze's pool is already filled with 180 gallons of water, and they are emptying the pool at 5 gallons per minute with buckets, to determine how long it will take until both pools have the same amount of water, the following calculation must be performed:
Team Sunshine:
30 + (8X) = T
30 + 8x10 = 110
30 + 8x11 = 118
30 + 8x12 = 126
30 + 8x11.5 = 122
30 + 8x11.6 = 122.8
30 + 8x11.55 = 122.4
30 + 8x11.54 = 122.3
Team Breeze:
180 - (5X) = T
180 - 5x11 = 125
180 - 5x12 = 120
180 - 5x11.5 = 122.5
180 - 5x11.6 = 122
180 - 5x11.55 = 122.25
180 - 5x11.54 = 122.3
1 = 60
0.54 = X
0.54 x 60 = X
32.4
Thus, both pools will have the same amount of water after 11 minutes and 32 seconds.
