Question 669021: one solar heating panel can raise the temperature of water 1° in 16 min . a second solar heating panel can raise the temperature 1° in 24min. how lond will it take to raise the temperature of the water 1° if both panels are operating?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! one solar heating panel can raise the temperature of water 1° in 16 min.
a second solar heating panel can raise the temperature 1° in 24 min.
how long will it take to raise the temperature of the water 1° if both panels are operating?
:
let b = time required when both panels are operating
let the completed job = 1 (raising the temp 1 degree)
:
A shared work equation
: + = 1
multiply by 48 to clear the denominators, results:
3b + 2b = 48
5b = 48
b = 48/5
b = 9.6 minutes working together
:
:
check this
9.6/16 + 9.6/24 =
.6 + .4 = 1
