Tank volume is 1,000L, Flow rate is 5L/min. So, Time = Volume ÷ Flow rate → 200 minutes to fill the tank.
The tank's volume is 1 cubic meter, which is equal to 1,000 litres. Water flows into the tank at a rate of 5 litres per minute. To find the time needed to fill the tank, divide the tank's volume by the rate of water flow.
Volume of the tank = 1,000 litres
Rate of water flow = 5 litres per minute
Time = Volume ÷ Flow Rate
Time = 1,000 litres ÷ 5 litres per minute
Time = 200 minutes
Therefore, it will take 200 minutes to fill the tank completely.
Question:
A tank is being filled with water at a rate of 5 litres per minute. The tank has a volume of 1 cubic meter (m³), which is equivalent to 1,000 litres (L). Considering 1 cubic meter equals 1,000 litres and knowing the flow rate, how many minutes will it take to fill the tank completely? Calculate and provide the answer in minutes.
