Jim can fill a pool carrying buckets of water in 30 minutes sue can do the same job in 45 minutes tony can all three fill the pool together?
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).
How long does it take to fill a 24 foot by 48 inch pool?
1-2 days. Try to get 2 or 3 garden hoses to fill the pool faster. WARNING: If you get your water from a well fill your pool slowly over 2 to 3 days.

A swimming pool can be filled by one pipe in ten hours the drain pipe can empty the pool in 15 hours if both pipes are open how long will it take to fill the pool?
the rate that water is coming into the pool, is the amount of water in the pool (x) divided by the amount of time it take to fill the pool. x / 10 the rate to empty the pool is x / 15 the rate to fill the pool wile it is being emptied, is the rate filling the pool minus the rate emptying the pool. x / 10 - x / 15 simplified 3x / 30 - 2x / 30 this gives x / 30 divide the rate the pool is filling, by the amount of water. (x / 30) / x this gives a time of 30 hours to fill the pool.
