<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72
So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool)
</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
</span>
<span>Now solve for x
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>
Answer:
5mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let speed of boat in still water is s.
Distance proportional to speed
90/10 = (s+ 4)/(s - 4)
=> 9s - 36 = s + 4
=> 8s = 40
=> s= 5 mph
:-)
b is the answer because it hits positive two on the x axis and -3 on the y axis
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of 3 above par means any value more than the absolute value of 3. The absolute value of 3 is (+) 3 since an absolute value of a number cannot be negative. Above par means positive (+), so more than the specified value of 3. <span />
