Question

A large hose can fill 7/8 of a water tank in one hour. A small hose

can fill 3/4 of a water tank in one hour. How much more of a water

tank can the large hose fill in one hour than the small hose?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/8

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a large hose can fill 7/8 of a water tank in one hour while a small hose

can fill 3/4 of a water tank in one hour.

To get the solution to the question above, we have to find the difference between the amount if water filled by the large and the smaller hose. This will be:

= 7/8 - 3/4

= 7/8 - 6/8

= 1/8
