The full question: A bottle contains 2 liters of water. The bottle leaks 80 milliliters of water every 3 minutes. Will the bottle be empty in 1 hour? Explain why or why not. (1 liter = 1,000)


The bottle will NOT be empty in an hour. However, it will leak 26.6 milliliters in a minute, so 1.596m in an hour.

Hope that helps!
