Question

After the next swim practice, Mackenzie wants to take a bath. She fills the tub at a rate

of 1.5 kg/s. How long does it take her to fill the bathtub?

Answer 1

To find the time it takes to fill the bathtub, divide the volume of the tub by the filling rate of 1.5 kg/s. Assuming the volume of the bathtub is known, plug in the values and solve for time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time it takes to fill the bathtub, we need to divide the amount of water in the tub by the filling rate. The filling rate is given as 1.5 kg/s. Since we know the density of water is 1 kg/L, we can say that the filling rate is 1.5 L/s.

To find the time, we divide the volume of the tub by the filling rate:

Time (seconds) = Volume (Liters) / Filling rate (Liters/second)

Assuming the volume of the bathtub is known, we can plug in the values and solve for time.
