Solution

Let's start by setting up an inequality to represent this situation. We know that Ann starts with 17 liters of water and adds 6 liters per minute. We also know that she wants to end up with at least 65 liters of water. So, we can write this as:

17 + 6t ≥ 65

Next, we want to solve for t. To do this, we need to isolate t on one side of the inequality. We can start by subtracting 17 from both sides:

6t ≥ 65 - 17 6t ≥ 48

Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to solve for t:

t ≥ 48 / 6 t ≥ 8

So, the possible numbers of minutes Ann could add water is any number greater than or equal to 8.

Three filling pipes, R, S and T, together, can fill an empty tank in two hours. S can fill the tank four times as fast as T. Initially, R alone is opened and after exactly x hours, it is closed and immediately S and T are opened together. The tank is full after exactly another y hours. If the tank was filled in a total of 4 hours, and x ≠ y, find the time (in hours) that T alone would take to fill the tank.6201224
