Question

A water tank discharges at the rate of 80 L/min. How long would it take to
discharge 4800 L?

Answer 1

Explanation:

so, 80 L can get out of the tank every minute.

how long for 4800 L ?

that simply means "how many minutes for 4800 L ?"

and this we get by dividing 4800 by 80 (to see how often 80 fits into 4800) :

4800 / 80 = 60 minutes

so, it takes 60 minutes or 1 hour to discharge 4800 L.
