Prompt:

A water tank has two inlet pipes and one outlet pipe. Pipe A can fill the tank in 6 hours working alone. Pipe B can fill the tank in 8 hours working alone. The outlet pipe can empty a full tank in 12 hours. If all three pipes are open simultaneously and the tank is initially empty: 1. How long will it take to fill the tank? 2. If Pipe A is turned off after the tank is 50% full, how much additional time is needed to fill the remaining 50%? Show your work step by step.

Let's solve this problem step by step. 1. **Calculate the rate at which each pipe operates:** - Pipe A can fill the tank in 6 hours, so its rate is \( \frac{1}{6} \) tank per hour. - Pipe B can fill the tank in 8 hours, so its rate is \( \frac{1}{8} \) tank per hour. - The outlet pipe can empty the tank in 12 hours, so its rate is \( \frac{1}{12} \) tank per hour. 2. **Calculate the combined rate of the inlet pipes:** The combined rate of Pipe A and Pipe B is: \[ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{4}{24} + \frac{3}{24} = \frac{7}{24} \text{ tank per hour} \] 3. **Calculate the time it takes to fill the tank with all three pipes operating:** The outlet pipe's rate is \( \frac{1}{12} \) tank pe…

1. To solve this problem, we first need to determine the rate at which each pipe fills the tank. Pipe A fills the tank in 6 hours, so its rate is 1/6 of the tank per hour. Pipe B fills the tank in 8 hours, so its rate is 1/8 of the tank per hour. The outlet pipe empties the tank in 12 hours, so its rate is -1/12 of the tank per hour (negative because it is removing water). Since the pipes are open simultaneously, we can add their rates together to find the combined rate: 1/6 + 1/8 - 1/12 To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6, 8, and 12 is 24, so we convert each fraction: 4/24 + 3/24 - 2/24 Now we can add and subtract the fractions: 4/24 + 3/24 -…

1. To determine the time to fill the tank with all three pipes open simultaneously, we calculate the combined rate: - Rate of Pipe A: $\frac{1}{6}$ tank/hour - Rate of Pipe B: $\frac{1}{8}$ tank/hour - Rate of outlet pipe: $-\frac{1}{12}$ tank/hour - Total net rate: $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{4}{24} + \frac{3}{24} - \frac{2}{24} = \frac{5}{24}$ tank/hour - Time to fill 1 tank: $1 \div \frac{5}{24} = \frac{24}{5}$ hours. **Answer:** \boxed{\dfrac{24}{5}} hours. 2.

### 1. Time to fill the tank with all three pipes open Pipe A fills at a rate of \( \frac{1}{6} \) tank per hour. Pipe B fills at a rate of \( \frac{1}{8} \) tank per hour. The outlet empties at a rate of \( -\frac{1}{12} \) tank per hour. The combined rate is \[ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{12}. \] The least common denominator of 6, 8, and 12 is 24: \[ \frac{4}{24} + \frac{3}{24} - \frac{2}{24} = \frac{5}{24} \] tank per hour.

The filling rates of the pipes are \(+\frac{1}{6}\) tank/h (A), \(+\frac{1}{8}\) tank/h (B) and \(-\frac{1}{12}\) tank/h (outlet). When all three pipes operate together the net rate is \[ \frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{4}{24}+\frac{3}{24}-\frac{2}{24}=\frac{5}{24} \] tank per hour. The time required to fill an empty tank is therefore \[ \frac{1}{5/24}=\frac{24}{5}=4.8 \] hours.

Let the tank capacity be **1 full tank**. ### Given rates: - Pipe A fills at \( \frac{1}{6} \) tank/hour - Pipe B fills at \( \frac{1}{8} \) tank/hour - Outlet empties at \( \frac{1}{12} \) tank/hour --- ## 1. Time to fill with all three pipes open Net rate: \[ \frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{12} \] Use a common denominator of 24: \[ \frac{4}{24}+\frac{3}{24}-\frac{2}{24} = \frac{5}{24} \] So the tank fills at \( \frac{5}{24} \) tank/hour. Time to fill 1 full tank: \[ \frac{1}{5/24}=\frac{24}{5}=4.8 \text{ hours} \] \[ 4.8 \text{ hours}=4 \text{ hours } 48 \text{ minutes} \] **Answer 1:** \( \boxed{4.8 \text{ hours} \text{, or } 4 \text{ h } 48 \text{ min}} \) --- ## 2. Pipe A is turned off…
