Answer:

x = 5 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of hours Mia fills the pool

y = number of hours Lora fills the pool

x + y = 16

Lora fills the pool twice as fast as mia.

y = 2x

Substitute y =2x into the equation

x + y = 16

x + 2x = 16

3x = 16

x = 16/3

x = 5 1/3 hours

x = number of hours Mia fills the pool =5 1/3 hours
