A pool has 3 independent fill lines. One can fill the pool in 7 hours, one can fill it in 12 hours and the third can fill it in 19 hours. How much time would it take to fill the pool using all three fill lines simultaneously?
 
It depends. If all three are independent sources then 3.59 hrs. However, if they all are from the same house for example, the up stream head loss would change the flow rates of all three hoses when all three are on at the same time so it would take longer.
