Algebra.Com's Answer #369291 by ad_alta(240) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the 3 pumps already emptied the tank, it wouldn't take any time at all! If we refilled it, we would expect that with 7 times the number of pumps the work would be done in 1/7 the time, or about 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 34 seconds. \n" ); document.write( " |
