To solve the problem of how long each tap takes to fill the tank, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Variables Let the time taken by the first tap to fill the tank be \( x \) hours. Then, the time taken by the second tap will be \( x + 3 \) hours (since it takes 3 hours more than the first tap). ### Step 2: Find the Combined Rate When both taps are working together, they can fill the tank in \( 3 \frac{1}{13} \) hours. We convert this mixed number into an improper fraction: \[ ...
