Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of pools clean per hour is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of pools clean in 8 hours = 12

The number of pools clean in 7.5 hours = 9

Let The number of pools they clean per hours = x

I.e x = [tex]\frac{8}{12}[/tex] +  [tex]\frac{7.5}{9}[/tex]

Or, x =  [tex]\frac{24+30}{36}[/tex]

Or, x =  [tex]\frac{54}{36}[/tex]

∴   x =  [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

I.e x = 1.5

Hence The number of pools clean per hour is 1.5 Answer
