The fill pipe for a tank can fill the tank in 15 min and the drain pipe can empty the tank in 10 min. If both pipes are accidentally opened, how long will it take to empty the full tank?

30 min

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank can be filled in 15 min, this means that in one min, 1/15 of the tank can be filled.

The tank can be emptied in 10 min, this means that in one min, 1/10 of the tank can be emptied.

the outflow rate - the inflow rate = rate of emptying the tank

1/10 - 1/15 = 1/x

where x is the time it will take to empty the tank

solving, we'll have

1/30 = 1/x

the reciprocal of the equation gives

x = 30 min

r and t.

both are 64 degrees.

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
