Question 891492: A sink has two faucets: one for hot water and one for cold water. The sink can be filled by a cold water faucet in 4.8 minutes. If both faucets are open, the sink is filled in 3.9 minutes. How long does it take to fill the sink with just the hot water faucet open? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1/4.8+1/h=1/3.9
3/48+3/10h=3/39
1/16+3/10h=1/13
13/208+3/10h=16/208
3/10h=3/208
1/10h=1/208
10h=208
h = 20.8
