The formula is:
Total time = (hose1 * hose2) / (hose1 + hose2)
Total time = (5 * 4) / 5 + 4
Total time = 20 / 9
Total time = 2 + (2/9)
Total time = 2.22222...

A garden hose can fill a swimming pool in 5 days, and a larger hose can fill the pool in 4 days. how long will it take to fill the pool if both hoses are used?
