Question 69763: an empty bucket is put under 2 faucets. if one faucet is turned on alone, the bucket fills in 6 minutes. if the other faucet is turned on alone, the bucket fills in 4 minutes. if both are turned on, how many seconds will it take to fill the bucket?
we CANNOT even figure out the equation to this problem.... Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
