Question

please help, I do not know how to do this at all! A restaurant has a large goldfish pond. Suppose that an inlet pipe and a hose together can fill the pond in 10 hours. The inlet pipe alone can complete the job in one hour less time than the hose alone. Find the time that the hose can complete the job alone and the time that the inlet pipe can complete the job alone.

Answer 1

H = 20.5 hours

I = 19.5 Hours

Explanation:

Start by creating a system.

I = time which the inlet pipe takes alone to fill the pond

H = time which the hose takes alone to fill the pond

10/I + 10/H = 10

H - I = 1

H = 20.5 hours

I = 19.5 Hours
