Slow pipe rate = $\"1%2Ft\"$ jobs per hour
\n" ); document.write( "Fast pipe rate = $\"1%2F%28t-3%29\"$ jobs per hour
\n" ); document.write( "Slow plus Fast pipes at same time rate = $\"1%2F%286%262%2F3%29\"$ jobs per hour\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The rates for each pipe are additive while they both work simulteneously. Solve first for t based on that. You can then know the rate for the slow pipe and can easily compute the rate for the fast pipe.\r
