Answer:
It will take both faucets 200 minutes to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to know the time it will take for both faucets to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water
What we need here is to have a joint rate for both faucets;
For the first faucet, we have a rate of 100 liters per 5 minutes so this means in a minute;
100/5 = 20 liters per minute
For the second faucet, the per minute rate will be 100/4 = 25 liters per minute
So therefore, the joint rate will be;
25 liters per minute + 20 liters per minute = 45 liters per minute
So the time needed to fill 9,000 liters of water in a pool will be ;
9000 liters/ 45 liters per minute = 200 minutes
