An inlet pipe on a swimming pool can be used to fill the pool in 2020 hours. The drain pipe can be used to empty the pool in 2121 hours. If the pool is 2323 filled and then the inlet pipe and drain pipe are opened, how long from that time will it take to fill the pool

If the pool is 2/3 filled and then the inlet pipe and drain pipe are opened, it will take 140 hours to fill the pool

Step-by-step explanation:

An inlet pipe can fill the pool in hours = 20

Inlet pipe 1 hour work =

A drain pipe can empty the pool in 21 hours

Drain pipe 1 hour work =

Inlet pipe and drain pipe 1 hour together work =

Now we are given that the pool is 2/3 filled

So, remaining portion to be filled =

So, Inlet pipe and drain pipe fill in hours = 1

So, they can fill 1/3 in hours =

Hence If the pool is 2/3 filled and then the inlet pipe and drain pipe are opened, it will take 140 hours to fill the pool

answer: 4/6 =5/7.5

step-by-step explanation: it is based on scale and the scale between the two is 1.25. the answer is correct but i dont know if i explained it right

all three statements are true

step-by-step explanation:

a shipping fee of 5% is charged online with every item purchased online

first let's just take each option and calculate them based on this, to see if the answers matched

keith buys a 40 dollar book

40 x 0.05 = 2

therefore there will be a two dollar fee on keith's book

40 + 2 =42

the first statement is true

a chair costs $80

80 x 0.05 = 4

80 + 4 = 84

the second statement is true

george buys a 20 dollar calculator

20 x 0.05 = 1

20 + 1 = 21

the third statements are true

all three statements are true
