Pool drainage calculation
During the pool cleaning, two drains and one inlet were opened. The first outflow would empty the pool in 6 hours, the second outflow would fill it in 9 hours, and the inflow would fill it in 12 hours. How long will it take to empty if the drains are open from the start and the influx only after 4 hours?
