Answer» Answer: 48 hours Explaination: A can fill TANK in one hour = 1/12 B can fill tank in 1hr = 1/16 C can EMPTY tank in 1hr = 1/8 multiply C with 6 on numerator and denominator 6/48 both A,B can fill in one hr is 1/12 + 1/16 = 7/48 so the tank fill in one hour is 7/48 - 6/48 1/48 so it TAKES 48 hours to fill the tank

Answer:

48 hours

Explaination:

A can fill TANK in one hour = 1/12

B can fill tank in 1hr = 1/16

C can EMPTY tank in 1hr = 1/8

multiply C with 6 on numerator and denominator

6/48

both A,B can fill in one hr is 1/12 + 1/16

= 7/48

so the tank fill in one hour is 7/48 - 6/48

1/48

so it TAKES 48 hours to fill the tank
