Amedium water hose can fill a pool in 30 minutes. a larger water hose can fill the same pool in 20 minutes. if both hoses are turned on at the same time, how long will it take to fill the pool? -what equation can be used to solve this work problem? -how many minutes will it take both hoses to fill the pool?

12 minutes.

Explanation:

IN order to solve this we have to create an equation, as you can see both water hoses have a different rate of filling up the pool, one is 20 minutes and the other one is 30 minutes so, both are open the same time, so they will share time, and the total amount will be described as 1, since that is the amount of pools they are filling up:

So the rate at wich the pool will fill up will be 12 minutes.

answer: compare a myth legend, or classic work of literature of you choice to a modern work that reinterprets it.focus on the similarities in theme between the newer work and the original, and provide examples that illustrate these themes from both works. the modern work may be any novel, movie, play, short story, or other storytelling medium with which you’re familiars long as it is clearly inspired by a myth, legend, or classic work of literature.

short-response prompt  

read the following excerpt from “fish cheeks” by amy tannin which tan recounts a christmas eve dinner.  

i fell in love with the minister’s son the winter i turned fourteen. he was not chinese, but as white as mary in the manger. for christmas i prayed for this blond-haired boy, robert, and a slim new american nose.  

on christmas eve i saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. she was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. the kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: a slimy rock cod with bulging fish eyes that pleaded not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil. tofu, which looked like stacked wedges of rubbery white sponges. a howl soaking dried fungus back to life. a plate of squid, their backs crisscrossed with knife markings so they resembled bicycle tires.  

after everyone had gone, my mother said to me. “you want to be the same as american girls on the outside.” she handed me an early gift. it was a miniskirt in beige tweed. “but in side you must always be chinese. you must be proud you are different. your only shame is to have shame.”
