Question

Suppose 4.2 liters of water come out of the faucet each minute. For how many minutes was the faucet on if 52.5 liters of water came out

Answer 1

12.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of liters of water come out of the faucet each minute = 4.2 liters

To find the time(in minutes) required for 52.5 liters of water to come out from the faucet.

Number of minutes required = Quantity of water come out from the faucet/ Number of liters of water come out per minute

`\begin{gathered} =(52.5)/(4.2) \\ =12.5\text{ minutes} \end{gathered}`

12.5 minutes required for 52.5 litres of water to come out from the faucet.
