Emptied 3244

The pond is emptied with a sluice in 45 days. When 2/3 of the pond needs to be drained in 15 days, the second sluice gate will also open for ten days. How many days would the pond be emptied only by a second sluice?

Correct answer:

x =  30 d

Step-by-step explanation:


15· x/45 + 10·1 = 2x/3

15· x/45 + 10·1 = 2·x/3

15x = 450


x = 450/15 = 30

x = 30
