Since you didn't write the Tony's time, let find for how long Jim and Sue can fill the pool together.

Jim can fill 1/2 of the pool in 15 minutes.

Sue can fill 1/3 of the pool in 15 minutes.

Together can fill 5/6 of the pool in 15 minutes (1/2 + 1/3).

In how many minutes (let's say x minutes) they will fill 1/6 of the pool?

Since it is left a small piece of the pool to fill out, it will take a few minutes to fill it. So we can form a proportion such as:

(5/6)/(1/6) = 15/x

5/1 = 15/x cross multiply

5x = 15 divide both sides by 5

x = 3

It will take 3 minutes to fill 1/6 of the pool. So that together they will fill the pool in 18 minutes (15 + 3).

In 15 minutes. Jim can fill 1/2 of the pool in 15 minutes, Sue can fill 1/3, and Tony can fill 1/6 of the pool in 15 minutes. Thus, together they can fill the pool in 15 minutes.


Jim can fill a pool carrying buckets of water in 30 minutes sue can do the same job in 45 minutes tony can do the same job in 1 half hours how quickly can all three fill the pool together?

In one minute: Jim fills 1/30, Sue fills 1/45 and Tony fills 1/90, so between them in 1 minute they fill 3/90 + 2/90 + 1/90 ie 6/90 or 1/15 so working together it will take 15 minutes.


How do you average minutes?

15, 45, 12 minutes: (15 + 45 + 12) ÷ 3 = 24 is the average.Add the minutes together and divide by the number totalled (three in the above example).

How many permutations are possible of the word yard?

Imagine you have four empty buckets in which to put any of the four letters Y, A, R, D into. At first you have four letters that can be placed in any of the four empty buckets. Once you've placed a letter in a bucket you only have three letters and three empty buckets to choose from. And so on... So there are 4x3x2x1 = 24 permutations of the word YARD.


Jamil can fill a pool carrying bucket of water in 30 minutes ali can do the same job in 45 minutes tariq can do the same job in 60 minutes how quickly can all three fill the pool together?

Jamil fills 1/30 of the pool in one minute. Ali fills 1/45 of the pool in one minute. Tariq fills 1/60 of the pool in one minute. So, together they fill 1/30 + 1/45 +1/60 = 6/180 + 4/180 +3/180 = 13/180 of the pool in one minute. Therefore, it takes them 180/13 minutes to fill th pool together. That is, 13.85 minutes.


What is the difference between a pail and a bucket in units of measure?

When I was growing up on my Grandfather's farm we had many pails and buckets laying around. Pails were containers with larger bases than top openings (an upside down bucket) for carrying water and milk. Buckets were used to carry everything else. I don't think anyone makes pails anymore, since carrying water and milk are no longer a big part of farm life. No one confused a pail and a bucket where I grew up.In regards to units of measure, a pail or bucket is not a unit of measure--pail or buckets can be had in one, two, three....gallons, liters, etc. The only difference is which end the bottom is on --the small end (bucket) or the large end (pail). Now it's settled.Jack
