1. The bathtub fills with cold water in 6 minutes 40 seconds, with hot water - in 8 minutes. In addition, if the plug is removed from a full bathtub, the water will drain in 13 minutes 20 seconds. How long will it take to fill the bathtub completely, provided that both taps are open, but the bathtub is not plugged?
Solution: First, we will convert the time in seconds to minutes: 6 minutes 40 seconds will be replaced by $6+2 / 3$, or $20 / 3$, and 13 minutes 20 seconds will be replaced by $13+1 / 3$, or $40 / 3$. Then, in one minute, the cold water will fill $3 / 20$ of the bathtub, the hot water will fill $1 / 8$ of the bathtub, and $3 / 40$ of the bathtub will drain. Therefore, in one minute, the bathtub will fill $3 / 20+1 / 8-3 / 40$, i.e., $1 / 5$ of the bathtub. Thus, the entire bathtub will be filled in 5 minutes.
