Question 746597: Can you help please!
One pipe can fill a tank in 4 hours. A second pipe can fill it in 5 hours. A third pipe can fill it in 6 hours. How long would it take all three pipes to fill the tank working together? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Add their rates of filling
1st pipe: ( 1 tank filled ) / ( 4 hrs )
2nd pipe: ( 1 tank filled ) / ( 5 hrs )
3rd pipe: ( 1 tank filled ) / ( 6 hrs )
--------------
Multiply both sides by hrs
All 3 pipes working together take 1 hr and 37 min
