Question

Jessica is filling Elmer's bath with water. If water comes out of the faucet at 60 mL per second, how many minutes will it take to fill the bath to 8L of water? 1000 mL = 1L

Answer 1

To fill the bath with 8L of water, it will take approximately 2.22 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 8L to milliliters, multiply 8 by 1000 since 1000 mL = 1L:

8L × 1000 mL/L = 8000 mL

Next, divide 8000 mL by the rate of water flow, which is 60 mL/s, to find the time it takes to fill the bath:

8000 mL / 60 mL/s = 133.33 s

Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, divide 133.33s by 60 to get the time in minutes:

133.33s / 60 s/min = 2.22 min

It will take approximately 2.22 minutes to fill the bath to 8L of water.
