Question

A bathtub is filling with water at a rate of 6060 liters per minute.

How many liters of water are in the bathtub after tt minutes?
Write your answer as an expression.

Answer 1

60t

Explanation:

Given,

The bathtub is filling with water at a rate of 60 liters per minute,

Thus, speed of filling = 60 liters per minutes,

∵ Initially there is no water in the bathtub,

So the volume of the water after t minutes = speed of filing ( in per min ) × t

= 60 × t

= 60t

Which is the required expression.

Answer 2

`60t`

Explanation:

Given, water is filling the bathtub at 60 liters per minute

Thus it follows that after
`t` minutes, there will be 60 times
`t` liters of water

So there will be
`60t` liters of water in the bathtub after
`t` minutes.
