Question

Faucet A can fill up a water cooler in 8 minutes. Faucet B can fill the same water cooler in 12 minutes. How long will it take both faucets together to fill the water cooler?

!!!!!Explanation Needed!!!!!

Answer 1

It will take 5 minutes for both faucets together to fill the water cooler

Explanation:

I'm kinda just guessing but I do have a reasonable explanation

So the average time it takes for the faucets INDIVIDUALLY to fill the water cooler is 10 minutes

But since both faucets are filling them TOGETHER, it should take half the time

And half of 10 is 5

So it should take 5 minutes for both faucets together to fill the water cooler

If that makes sense
