You can put this solution on YOUR website! Emptying the pool is one job 1 job
Pipe I 20 minutes
She does 1/20 job in 1 hour
Pipe II 30 minutes 1/12
He does 1/30 of thejob in 1 hour
Pipe III 40 minutes
It does 1/40 of the job in 1 hour
Together they will do 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/40
Together they will do 9/83 of the job in one minute 0.11
So they will take 9 2/9 minutes
So they will take 9.23 minutes
