Question 747118: An underground spring fills a small pond in 15 days. Evaporation from the surface of the pond can empty the pond in 42 days. If the pond is completely dry, how long will it take to fill again? Answer by mikeebsc(26) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is this a trick question. The question clearly states that it takes 15 days to fill the pond. While it could be possible to factor in evaporation, the question itself eliminates that variable by stating, "it takes 15 days to fill the pond".
