Eight pipes were turned on to fill the pool in 36 hours. Then, after 12 hours some of the pipes were turned off, and the rest of the pool was filled in 32 hours. How many pipes were turned off?

Answer:

2 pipes

Step-by-step explanation:

So.. I'm not too sure either, but I'll try to solve it.

Equation: 4x=8 when x=number of pipes turned off after 12 hours

Since there were initially 8 pipes and there are 4 hours between 36 planned hours to fill the whole pool and 32 actual hours passed to fill the rest of the pool, you multiply them.
