***WORK SHOWN*** A water faucet partially on takes 2 minutes to fill an empty sink. Opening a drain on a full sink empties the sink in 5 minutes. How long would it take for the faucet to fill the empty sink while the drain is open? What I did was 1/2 - 1/5 = 1/x I then found like denominators or whatever it's called, and it's 10 so I got 5/10 - 2/10 = 1/x 3/10 = 1/x I cross multipled and got 3x = 10 which simplifies to 3.3333 BUT the answer is apparently 3.50 minutes according to this test thing. What am I doing wrong?
