Plss help Give brainiest if right!

One pipe can fill the pool in 6 hours. The second pipe can drain
the pool in 18 hours. How long will it take to fill the pool if the
two pipes are both working?

Respuesta :

I think it’d be 3 hours because doing double the work would cut half the time.

Answer:

Will take 8hrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

if pipe 1 takes 6 hrs then the 2nd pipe drains it 3x slower

Which means pipe 1 will take 1 hr slower every 3 hrs taken

and will be at ratio 3:2 for when pipe 2 is used

6 + 2 = 8 (hrs)

Will take 8hrs.
