Polder filling
The polder has two tributaries. A larger inflow will fill an empty polder in 12 hours. The polder is already a quarter full. If we open both tributaries, the polder will be filled in 6 hours. How long would it take for a smaller inflow to fill an empty polder?

Two supply pipes open into the pool, and the smaller pipe fills the pool in 40 hours. The empty pool will be filled in 16 hours if we open both supply pipes. How long would it take to fill if only the second, larger inlet pipe was opened? - Tank inflow time
We would fill the water tank with one inflow in 3 hours and the other inflow in 2 hours. How long will it take for both tributaries to open? - Open simultaneously
An empty tank is filled with inflow in 30 minutes. A full tank is emptied in 75 minutes with an open drain. How long does it take for an empty tank to fill up if both the inlet and outlet are open simultaneously? - A tank 2 A tank can be filled by a pipe A in 3 hours and by pipe B in 5 hours. When the tank is full, it can be drained by pipe C in 4 hours. If the tank is initially empty and all three pipes are open, how many hours will it take to fill up the tank?
- 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 - Tributaries
We can fill the pool with two different tributaries. The first inflow would fill the pool in 18 hours and by both in 6 hours. How many hours would the pool fill with a second inflow? - Swimming pool 6
We open the first pipe and, after two hours, open the second pipe without closing the first. The swimming pool will be filled with both pipes in four hours. If we open the first pipe itself, it will fill the pool 1.5 times faster than the second pipe. How
