Question 333970: Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 30 minutes to fill a small swimming pool. If it takes 45 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself, how long will it take the smaller hose to fill the pool on its own?

Let 1/30 = two hose working together
Let 1/45 = larger hose working alone
Let 1/x = smaller hose working alone
1/x + 1/45 = 1/30
Can you solve for x? If so, you will find your answer.
