Question

Two pools are being filled with water. To start, the first pool contains
880
liters of water and the second pool is empty. Water is being added to the first pool at a rate of
16.25
liters per minute. Water is being added to the second pool at a rate of
43.75
liters per minute.

 

After how many minutes will the two pools have the same amount of water?

and how much water will be in each pool when they have the same amount?

Answer 1

880+16.25t = 43.75t; 43.75t - 16.25t = 880; 27.5t = 880; t= 880/27.5= 32 minutes.

The first pool will have 880+(16.25 x 32)= 1,400 liters and the second 43.75 x 32= 1,400 Each pool will have 1400 liters.
