Question 131420: Hello I submitted this problem earlier but, I forgot the 2 in my email. Could I have some help with the problem. Thanks. A pond is 1200 gallons. I have two pumps. One pumps at a rate of 100 gallons an hour. The other one pumps at a rate of 60 gallons an hour. How long would it take to drain the pond if both pumps are used.
