One hose can fill a small swimming pool in 65 minutes. A larger hose can fill the pool in 35 minutes. How long will it take the two hoses to fill the pool working together?

22.75 minutes or 22 minutes 45 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this is a working together question. Let’s walk through it together!

Firstly, let’s say the total volume of the swimming pool is x sq.meters

Now, the rate of the smaller hose would be x/65 while that of the larger will be x/35

Now, their combined rate would be x/65 + x/35 = 100x/2275

Now, since the volume is x, the time taken is simply, the volume divided by the joint rate. That is mathematically equal to x divided by 100x/2275

x * 2275/100x = 2275/100 = 22.75 minutes or 22 minutes 45 seconds

just find the gcf and solve the gcf's until you get each answer i have a really good feeling somethings missing xd (like the dimensions of the fence) *cough *cough *hint *hint
