If it takes 16 faucets 10 hours to fill 8 tubs, how long will it take 12 faucets to fill 9 tubs?

Asked by LonnaFreestone

Answer (2)

workers.time/jobs = 16.10/8 = 20 then you must do the same for the other one. 12.t/9 = 20 Multiply both sides by 9 12T= =180 then divide both sides by 12 T= 15 hours

It will take 12 faucets a total of 15 hours to fill 9 tubs. This is based on the understanding that 16 faucets can fill 8 tubs in 10 hours, which establishes a rate of filling. Consequently, the calculation shows that it requires 180 faucet hours for 9 tubs, and with 12 faucets, this equates to 15 hours.
