Answer:

  • 40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Rate of filling is 1/15
  • Rate of draining is 1/20

<u>If both lines are open the rate of filling is:</u>

  • 1/15 - 1/20 = 4/60 - 3/60 = 1/60 per hour

Since tank is 1/3 full we need to fill the remaining 2/3 of it.

<u>Time required:</u>

  • 2/3 : 1/60 =
  • 2/3*60 =

{\huge \underline{{ \fbox \color{red}{A}}{\fbox \color{green}{n}}{\fbox \color{purple}{s}}{\fbox \color{brown}{w}}{\fbox \color{yellow}{e}}{\fbox \color{gray}{r } }}}

\:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \bf \red{ \dfrac{1}{2} +  \dfrac{1}{4} =  \dfrac{3}{4}   }

Step by step explanation :-

The only thing you have to do is add the numerator to the denominator, in this case you have to add the first ones from the front, which can be these 2+1/4, which would result in 3/4, and this is called the Commutative Property.

\:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \boxed{  \bf \gray{ \dfrac{1}{2} +  \dfrac{1}{4}  =  \dfrac{1}{4} +  \dfrac{1}{2}   }}

\:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \boxed{ \bf \green{\dfrac{2 + 1}{4}  =  \dfrac{1 + 2}{4} }}

\:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \boxed {\bf \blue{\dfrac{3}{4}  =  \dfrac{3}{4}} }

Answer :- The answer is 3/4

¿What is commutative property?

It is to change different ways in order of the addends the result would be the same.

Example :-

\:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \boxed {\bf \blue{\dfrac{a}{b} + \dfrac{c}{d}} = {\dfrac{c}{d}  + \dfrac{a}{b}} }

I hope I've helped : )
