Question 1197406: SETTING UP AND SOLVING DIRECT AND INVERSE PROPORTIONS
Two sump pumps working at the same rate to drain a flooded basement in 5 1/2 hours. How long would it have taken 3 pumps working at the same rate to drain the basement? I think it is an inverse proportion and I put 2 over 3 = 5 1/2 over x multiplied and got 2x=16 1/2 divided and got 8 1/4. But it is supposed to take less time not more.
