Write a literal equation for a.
18/a=7
Multiply both sides by a
18=7a
Then divide both sides by 7
18/7=a
Final answer: B
<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>
The distance between is (8,6).
28/100=14/50=7/25 &the second one 2=200/100 so 200/100+65/100=265/100
265/100=53/20
