An inlet pipe can fill an empty swimming pool in 5hours, and another inlet pipe can fill the pool in 4hours. How long will it take both pipes to fill the pool?

It will take 2 hours, 13 minutes and 20 seconds for both pipes to fill the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an inlet pipe can fill an empty swimming pool in 5hours, and another inlet pipe can fill the pool in 4hours, to determine how long it will take both pipes to fill the pool, the following calculation must be performed:

1/5 + 1/4 = X

0.20 + 0.25 = X

0.45 = X

9/20 = X

9 = 60

2 = X

120/9 = X

13,333 = X

Therefore, it will take 2 hours, 13 minutes and 20 seconds for both pipes to fill the pool.

y=1/4x-4

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
