Question 953876: If 5 hoses can fill a tank of water in 20 minutes, how long would it take to fill the tank of water if there were 2 hoses? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5 hoses can fill a tank of water in 20 minutes
----------------------------------------
1 hose takes 5 times as long, so
1 hose can fill a tank in 100 minutes
-------------------------------------
2 hoses will take 1/2 of this time, so
2 hoses can fill a tank in 50 minutes
