The intake pipe can fill a certain tank in 6 hours when the outlet pipe is closed, but when the outlet pipe is open it takes 9 hours. how long would it take the outlet pipe to empty a full tank?

18 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate of intake pipe is  [1 tank in 6 hours]

The total unit rate (combined) when 2 work together is  [1 tank in 9 hours]

Intake fills up and outlet empties. Thus we can say:

Rate of Intake - Rate of Outlet = Combined Rate

This becomes:

Where x is the rate of outlet pipe [what we are looking for]

Doing algebra we solve for x:

This means "outlet pipe can empty 3 tanks in 54 hours". So that would mean 54/3 = 18 hours to empty 1 tank

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
