Problema Solution
At the end of an amusement park ride, a boat lands in a pool, splashing out a lot of water. Three inlet pipes, each working alone, can fill the pool in 12 seconds, 18 seconds, and 24 seconds, respectively. How long would it take to fill the pool if all three inlet pipes are used?

Let 'x' represent the number of seconds it takes for the pool ti fill if all three inlet pipes are used
1/12 + 1/18 + 1/24 = 1/x

........
x = 5.54 s
It will take 5.54 seconds to fill the pool if all three inlet pipes are used.
