Question

Two pipes together can fill a water tank in 6 hrs and 40 mins find the time each will take to fill the tank if one of the two pipes can fill it in 3hrs less than the other

Answer 1

Let the faster pipe be x
Let the slower pipe be x+3
So according to the problem
x+x+3 = 6.40
2x + 3 = 6.40
2x = 6.40 - 3
2x = 3.40
x = 3.40/2
x = 1.70

Answer 2

Answer:want some points so

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the faster pipe be x

Let the slower pipe be x+3

So according to the problem

x+x+3 = 6.40

2x + 3 = 6.40

2x = 6.40 - 3

2x = 3.40

x = 3.40/2

x = 1.70
