However, the equation...The given solution is right. However, the equation must be 1/x + 1/y - 1/z = 1/n ; where: x = no. of hours for pipe A; y = no. of hours for pipe B; z = no. of hours for the leak; and, n = no. of hours if they are opened at the same timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078192846661822178.post-15801643156151151312011-07-25T09:22:22.993-07:002011-07-25T09:22:22.993-07:004 hours w/o leak < 4 and 48 hrs w/ leak4 hours w/o leak < 4 and 48 hrs w/ leakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078192846661822178.post-8077022006599852152011-05-17T19:58:13.176-07:002011-05-17T19:58:13.176-07:00hey who put this equation here? its wrong. because...hey who put this equation here? its wrong. because if we compute for their filling rates without the leak, it'll be 4 hours. so you mean with the leak it would be faster to fill the pool? i'll post the equation laterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
