Question

1. a tap flows at a rate of 15 litres per minute

(a) how would it take to fill a 300 container.
(b) if 2 taps flowing at the same rate were used , how long will it take to fill the container ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) x = time to fill the container

x = (300 l) / (15 l/min) = 20 min

b) x = (300 l) / (2)(15 l/min) = 10 min *half the amount of time as with one tap
