Question

The garden hose at Andre's house can fill a 5-gallon bucket in 2 minutes. The hose at his next-door neighbor's house can fill a 10-gallon bucket in 8 minutes. If they use both their garden hoses at the same time, and the hoses continue working at the same rate they did when filling a bucket, how long will it take to fill a 750-gallon pool? and need to explain simple form

Answer 1

ok

Hose 1 = H = 5g/2 m

Hose 2 = M = 10g/8 m = 5g/4m

Hose 1 + Hose 2 = Total

5g/2 m + 5g/4 m = Total

10g/4m + 5g/4m = Total

15 gallons/4 min = total

15 gallons ---------------------------- 4 min

750 gallons -------------------------- x

x = (750 x 4) / 15

x = 3000 / 15

x = 200 min

Result. It will take 200 min to fill the pool
