Instantaneous water heater

Water flows into and out of an instantaneous water heater at the same time. If water only flows in, the empty water heater would be filled in 18 minutes. If water only flows out, the full water heater would be emptied in 20 minutes. How many hours will it take to fill an empty water heater if the water inlet and outlet are opened at the same time?

Correct answer:

t =  180 min

Step-by-step explanation:

t1=18 min t2=20 min  m=t11t21=181201=180101809=180109=18010.0056  t=1/m=1/0.0056=180 min
