A swimming pool can be filled by 5 pumps working for 2 hrs each.
\n" ); document.write( "find the no. of pump-hrs required to fill the pool
\n" ); document.write( "5 * 2 = 10 pump-hrs required to fill the pool
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If one of the pumps is non-functional, how much extra time would be required to fill the pool?
\n" ); document.write( "let t = time required with 4 pumps
\n" ); document.write( "4t = 10
\n" ); document.write( "t = 10/4
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2.5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A half hr longer, find the percentage longer
\n" ); document.write( ".5/2 * 100 = 25% longer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
