Question

A hose can fill a swimming pool in 10 hours. Another hose needs 5 more hours to fill the pool than the two hoses combined. How long would it take the second hose to fill the pool?

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe it is 10, but I'm not sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 2 of the first hose, then it can fill the pool twice as fast, so thats 5 hours. (10 divided by 2 = 5).

If the second hose takes 6 hours more than that, then that would be 10 hours.(5+5=10)
