Answer:

1 min .234 sec

Explanation:

3 min 25 sec to fill 75 litre gas tanks

how many min will fill 55 lite gas

lets convert 3 min 25 sec to seconds

3 min = 3 × 60 sec

60 + 25 = 85 sec

85 sec = 75

x sec = 55

cross multiply

75x = 85 × 55

75x = 4675

x = 4675/75

x = 62.33333333 sec

convert (62.3333333) sec to min

62.34 ÷ 60 = 1 min 2.34 sec
