Question

Una cisterna con forma de prisma rectangular mide 1.5 m de ancho, 2 m de largo y 1 m de alto. Si está vacía y se vierten en su interior 150 L de agua por minuto, ¿cuánto tiempo tardará en llenarse?

Answer 1

Explanation:

V = 1.5 × 2 × 1 = 3 m³ = 3000 L

tiempo = 3000 ÷ 150 = 20 minutos

Answer 2

It will take 20 minutes to fill the cistern.

The solution to this question in 120 words:

The volume of the cistern is 1.5 m x 2 m x 1 m = 3 cubic meters.

The cistern is filling at a rate of 150 liters per minute.

1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters.

Therefore, the cistern is filling at a rate of 150 liters/minute / 1000 liters/cubic meter = 0.15 cubic meters/minute.

The time it will take to fill the cistern is 3 cubic meters / 0.15 cubic meters/minute = 20 minutes.

Therefore, it will take 20 minutes to fill the cistern.
