Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say

d1 the outflow of the first pump

d2 the outflow of the second pump

V=1 is the volume of the tank

Since the second pump takes twice as long as the first to fill the tank,

V=1=k*d_1*t\\V=1=k*d_2*(2*t)\\==>\ d_1=2*d_2\\\\

Two pumps can fill a pool tank in 26 hours when working together:

V=1=k*(d_1+d_2)*26 \ ==> V=1=k*(3*d_2)*26 \  ==>k=\dfrac{1}{3*d_2*26} \\\\

How long does it take the first pump alone to fill the tank:

V=1=k*d_1*t=k*2*d_2*t=k*3d_2*26\\2*t=3*26\\\\t=\frac{3*26}{2} \\\\t=3*13\\\\t=39\ (hours)

In a bottle there are 370 liters of water. There are 46 small
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The number of extra glasses required is 3954.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total volume of water in a bottle = 370 liters

Number of  glasses, N = 46

capacity of each glass = 90 ml = 0.09 liter

The volume of water required to fill 46 glasses is

= 0.09 x 46 = 4.14 liter

The amount of water left = 370 -  4.14 = 355.86 liter

The number of extra glasses required to fill is

n = 355.86/0.09 = 3954

So, the number of extra glasses required is 3954.
