#2, very very routine exercise

Water with nothing dissolved in it for practical purposes, 0% salt.

If adding v ounces, (but you likely should mean, "fluid ounces") then

#1
Larger Pump, , its pump-out rate, unit of TANK per HOUR
Smaller Pump rate,
BOTH pumps together, rate,

Description give that the two pump working together do the job in 5 hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let V be the final volume of the mixture. The mass of the dissolved salt is the same (it is not changed). It leads to equation 0.1*64 = 0.02*V which gives V = = = 5*64 = 320 ounces. It means that 320-64 = 256 ounces of water should be added. ANSWER

Solved.

I just asked you once, and I repeat it again:

            - please do not pack more than one problem per post.

It is the rule and the policy of this forum:

        One and only one problem per post.

This rule is printed at web-page

https://www.algebra.com/tutors/students/ask.mpl?action=ask_question&topic=Equations&return_url=http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/equations/

from which you post your problems to this forum.

So, it is assumed that you read it before you post, are familiar with it and follow this rule.

///////////////////

I saw, that you just re-posted first problem in a separate post.

I welcome this and approve this your action.

At the same time, I delete this first problem so that other tutors do not worry in vain.
