You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2 pipes fill a tank in 10 minutes, large pipe fill twice the smaller and out of one pipe empty 45 minutes.
how much time taken by the small pipe to fill?
:
Let t = time for the small pipe to fill the tank (in minutes
then
.5t = time for the large pipe to fill it
:
let the completed job = 1 (a full tank
: + = 1
multiply by t
2(10) + 10 = t
20 + 10 = t
t = 30 min for the small pipe working alone
