Answer:

It will take 20 minutes  for both buckets to have the same amount of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "t" be the time in minutes when both the buckets will fill

The total volume in bucket A after t minutes

[tex]340 + 7t[/tex]

The total volume in bucket B after t minutes

[tex]640-8t[/tex]

[tex]340 +7t = 640-8t\\15 t = 300\\t = 20[/tex]

It will take 20 minutes  for both buckets to have the same amount of water
