cold water fills the tub in 30 mins. Hot fills in 60 mins. If both are turned on, how long to fill the tub?

Cold rate =  1tub/30 min

Hot rate   =  1tub/60 min

 

x min ( 1tub/30min + 1tub/60min) = 1tub

x(1/30 + 1/60) = 1

x(2/60+1/60) = 1

3/60 * x = 1

x = 60/3 = 20 minutes to fill tub when both are turned on
