Time taken to fill the bathtub is 8 min
time taken to drain the bathtub is 12 min
fraction of bathtub filled in 1 hour=1/8
fraction of bathtub drained in 1 hour=1/12
fraction that will be filled in a minute given that both taps are opened at he same time:
1/8-1/12
=1/24
thus time taken for the bathtub to be filled is 24 min
Answer:
0.16666666666
Step-by-step explanation:
4/24
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
3x - 15
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>Before we begin, remember the following:</u>
ax + bx = (a+b)x
xᵃ * xᵇ = x⁺ᵇ
<u>Now, for the given:</u>
<u>We have:</u>
volume of first container = x - 10 liters
volume of second container = x - 5 liters
volume of third container = x liters
The volume of water that can be contained in the three containers together would be the SUMMATION of the three volume.
<u>This summation can be computed as follows:</u>
x - 10 + x - 5 + x = x + x + x - 10 - 5
= 3x - 15 liters
Hope this helps :)
