t represents the time needed by the new pump
4t represents the time needed by the old pump
(2 / t) + (2 / 4t) = 1
Can you solve for t and answer?
OG L.
asked 12/02/22It takes an older pump 4
times as long to drain a certain pool as it does a newer pump. Working together, it takes the two pumps 2
hours to drain the pool. How long will it take the newer pump to drain the pool working alone?Do not do any rounding.
