Answer:

Question 3: 2.7 hours

Question 4: 2.3 hours

Explanation:

Question 3:

Time taken by 1st delivery driver = t1 = 6 hours

Time taken by 2nd delivery driver = t2= 5 hours

Time together = T


{( 1 )/( T ) = ( 1 )/( t1 ) + ( 1 )/( t2 )}


{( 1 )/( T ) = ( 1 )/( 6 ) + ( 1 )/( 5 )}


{( 1 )/( T ) = 0.166+0.2 = 0.366}


{T = ( 1 )/( 0.366 ) = 2.732}

Rounded to the nearest tenth: 2.7 hours

Question 4:

The first valve takes 4 hours to completely drain = t1


\mathrm{Rate\:for\:first\:valve\:will\:be\:(1)/(4)\:per\:hour}

The second valve taken 5.25 hours to completely drain = t2


\mathrm{Rate\:for\:second\:valve\:will\:be\:(1)/(5.25)\:per\:hour}

Combined time = T


{( 1 )/( T ) = ( 1 )/( t1 ) + ( 1 )/( t2 )}


{( 1 )/( T ) = ( 1 )/( 4 ) + ( 1 )/( 5.25 )}


{( 1 )/( T ) = 0.25+0.190 = 0.44}


{T = ( 1 )/( 0.44 ) = 2.272}

Rounded to the nearest tenth: 2.3 hours
