Question

Container A has 600 mL of water and is being filled at a rate of 12 mL per minute. Container B has 1500 mL of water and is being drained at 12 mL per minute. How many minutes, m, will it take for the two containers to have the same amount of water?

Answer 1

It will take 37.5 minutes for both containers to reach the same amount of water which is 1050 mL

Explanation:

1500 - (12 × 37.5) = 1050

600 + (12 × 37.5) = 1050
