x ----> 1 fill / 8 min
y ---->1 fill / 5 min
so if n = number of fills in t min
n = x t + y t = t/8 + t/5
if n = 1 fill
1 = t/8 + t/5 = 5 t/40 + 8 t/40 = (13/40) t
t = 40/13 = 3.076923077 minutes
y ---->1 fill / 5 min
so if n = number of fills in t min
n = x t + y t = t/8 + t/5
if n = 1 fill
1 = t/8 + t/5 = 5 t/40 + 8 t/40 = (13/40) t
t = 40/13 = 3.076923077 minutes
