\n" ); document.write( " If a pool was 1/3 full and the inlet and outlet are opened, how long will it take to fill the pool?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time required to fill the pool under these conditions
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let the full pool = 1

\n" ); document.write( "The equation to fill the remaining 2/3 of the pool
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"t%2F34\" - \"t%2F36\" = \"2%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 1224 (36*34) to clear the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "36t - 34t = 408(2)
\n" ); document.write( "2t = 816
\n" ); document.write( "t = 408 hrs to fill the pool \n" ); document.write( "
