Please be honest and answer this question for me. Even if you can’t answer all of them, answering the first one will be enough. Reese is installing an in-ground rectangular

pool in her backyard. Her pool will be 30 feet

long, 14 feet wide, and have an average depth

of 8 feet. She is installing two pipes to bring

water to fill the pool; these pipes will also be

used to drain the pool at the end of each

season. One pipe can fill and drain the pool at

a rate that is 1 more than 2 times faster than

the other pipe. If both pipes are open and

working properly, it will take 3.5 hours to fill

the pool.

1. When Reese opens the pipes to fill the pool, she finds that only the slower pipe is working.

Write a rational equation that you can use to find out how long it will take to fill the pool under

these circumstances. Explain how you came up with your equation.
