The time it will take to fill the vat if both pipes are left open is = 4.3 hours

Calculation of time taken to fill vat

The number of pipes a vat has = 2

The time it takes the inlet pipe to fill the vat = 3hrs

The time it takes the outlet pipe to empty the vat= 10hrs

Therefore, the time it will take to fill the vat if both pipes are left open is;

1/t = 1/3-1/10

1/t = 7/30

Make t the subject of formula,

t = 30/7

t= 4.3 hours
