At a community center, three separate pumps- A, B, and C- started to fill an empty swimming pool at 8:00 AM, and each pump worked at its own constant rate until the pool was full. Was the pool completely filled at 3:00 PM?
(1) Working alone, pump C could fill 3/10 of the pool in 126 minutes.
(2) Working together, pumps A and B could fill 1/8 of the pool in 55 minutes.
(1) S1 tells us that one hose, by itself, does 3/10 of the job in 126 minutes
Let's use our W = RT equation
3/10 = R * 126
3/1260
