Two large and 1 small pumps can fill a swimming pool in 4 hours. One large and 3 small pumps can also fill the same swimming pool in 4 hours. How many hours will it take 4 large and 4 small pumps to fill the pool

It will take 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Large : L Small : S

2L + 1S = 4 hours

1L + 3S = 4 hours

that means 2S is equivalent to 1L and 1S left over.

4L + 4S = ?

If 1L + 3S = 4 hours

turning 1L to 2S making 5S then that means

5S = 4 hours

4 hours concerted into minutes

60minutes in a hour

60 × 4 = 240 minutes

240 ÷ 5 = 48 minutes for each small piece.

48 + 48 = 96

2L = 98

4L = 192

6L = 288

288÷5=4.8 hours = 5 hours

5 hours - 4 hours = 1 hour
