The collins family and the watson family each used their sprinklers last summer. the collins family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours. the watson family's sprinkler was used for 25 hours. there was a combined total output of 875l of water. what was the water output rate for each sprinkler if the sum of the two rates was 40l per hour?

Collins: 25 L/h

Watson: 15 L/h

Explanation:

Collins family:

Hours: Hc = 20 h

Water used: Wc

Rate: Rc = Wc/Hc

Watson family:

Hours: Hw = 25 h

Water used: Ww

Rate: Rw = Ww/Hw

Total output = Wc + Ww = 875 L

Sum of rates: Rt = Rc + Rw = 40 L/h

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
