Question

pipe A is a inlet pipe filling the tank at 8000l/hr and pipe B is the outlet pipe which empties the tank in 3 hours.the capacity of the tank is

Answer 1

pipe A=1/x,
pipe B=1/3, so 8000=1/x-1/3

Answer 2

@waterineyes

Answer 3

does that say 8000 liters / hr ?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

so you want to know how big the tank is , in liters

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Congratulations @perl for going \(\color{green}{\textsf{Green..}}\)

Answer 8

can you double check your question for typos. something is a bit odd

Answer 9

does it give you the rate of the outlet pipe?

Answer 10

nope

Answer 11

can you take a picture and upload the question

Answer 12

yes this bit tough question

Answer 13

i would like to see your worksheet

Answer 14

pipe A fill at 8000liters/hour
pipe B empties at xliters/hour

Answer 15

1/x=pipe A,1/3=pipe B

Answer 16

be careful with your units.
if you multiply x liters / hr * 3 hr = total capacity in liters

Answer 17

8000*t=x*3

Answer 18

that has two unknowns , you cant solve it

Answer 19

8000t=3x, so x=8000t/3=x

Answer 20

yes .

Answer 21

Answer 22

I would say fill rate * time = Volume
If you can empty the tank in 3 hours using pipe B, the rate (out) is
rate * 3 = V
rate= V/3
if you fill the tank at a rate of 8000 L/hr using pipe A you say
T * 8000 = V

we have two unknowns : V and T
we need more info

Answer 23

please anybody try to solve or explain .don't say two unknowns

Answer 24

yes i agree @phi.

Answer 25

the solution would be a line
V= 8000 T
for example, if T= 1 hour, then V is 8000 L

pipe B empties this in 3 hours , so its rate would be 8000/3

or, if T=2
V = 16000 L
and B's rate is 16000/3

Answer 26

i have options for the question a)12000 b)8000 c)6000 d)4000

Answer 27

Is there more info ? For example, does pipe B take 3 hours to empty the tank at the same time that 8000 L is flowing in from pipe A ?
