Using two pumps

Submitted by ramelcoletana on February 28, 2021 - 1:06pm

An 8-horsepower (hp) pump can fill a
tank in 8 hours. A smaller, 3-hp pump fills the same tank in
12 hours. The pumps are used together to begin filling this
tank. After four hours, the 8-hp pump breaks down. How
long will it take the smaller pump to fill the tank?
