Afaucet in a large tank can fill the tank in 12 hours. however, there is a hose in the tank which would be able to empty the tank in 18 hours. if someone left both hoses on, how long would it take to fill the tank using the faucet.

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
