Question

A bathtub is filling with water at a rate of 72 inch3/second. The density of water is 0.58 ounce/inch3. How long will it take for the tub to fill with 11,000 ounces of water? Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

Answer 1

We can first find how much ounces it is filled per second:
72×0.58
=41.76ounces

We can then find how long it will take by dividing 11,000 by the abswer we found above:
11,000÷41.76
=263.4099...
≈263.41ounces

Therefore,the answer is 263.41 ounces.

Answer 2

Answer: 263.4 sec

Explanation:

Ounces of water in 1 second =
`Density* rate=0.58ounces/inch^3* 72inch^3/sec=41.76ounces/ sec`

This means that 41.76 ounces of water is getting collected in tub in 1 second

Then 11000 ounces of water will be collected in=
`(1)/(41.76)* 11000=263.40seconds`

The time taken to fill the tank upto 11000 ounces will 263.40 seconds.
