Answer 2

The total quantity that can be filtered by both the filters in 75 minutes is 24734.25 gallons

Explanation:

Step 1:

Given

Quantity of water that can be filled by filter A in one minute = 159.93 gallons

Quantity of water that can be filled by filter B in one minute = 169.86 gallons

We need to compute the total of the water that the 2 filters can filter in 75 minutes

Step 2 :

The total quantity that can be filtered by both the filters in one minute = 159.93 + 169.86 = 329.79 gallons

The total quantity that can be filtered by both the filters in 75 minutes = 329.79 × 75 = 24734.25 gallons

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total quantity that can be filtered by both the filters in 75 minutes is 24734.25 gallons
