Question

two taps together can fill the tank in 3 1/13 minutes. The smaller tap takes 3 minutes more than the bigger tap to fill the tank. How much time each tap takes to fill the tank completely?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

it is quadratic equation

part filled by smaller tank in 1 day, 1/x

part filled by bigger tank in 1 day , 1/x +3

condition,

1/x+1/x+3 = 13/40

we always take reciprocal of the time taken to fill tank.

like here it is 40/13 but it is reciprocated and taken 13/4o

solve the quadratic equation

Answer 2

Answer:

solve this

Step-by-step explanation:

1/x +1/x+3=13/31
