If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, then:

part filled in 1 hour = 1 .
x
If a pipe can empty a tank in y hours, then:

part emptied in 1 hour = 1 .
y
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where y > x), then on opening both the pipes, then

the net part filled in 1 hour = 1 - 1 .
x y
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where y > x), then on opening both the pipes, then

the net part emptied in 1 hour = 1 - 1 .
