Answer:

Correct solution:

Answer = 2861 secs to fill the bath tub

Answer in minutes = 47.6 mins to fill the tub

Explanation:

Since it is Unknown the capacity (litters) the Bathtub holds

The average bath tub holds 302 litters

To find the time (seconds) it takes to fill (assumed 302 litter tub) We have to Use a simple Ratio calculation:

9.5 L \ 90 secs

302 \ ?

Next step is to Mutiply 302 * 90 = 27,180 Then devide 27,180 by 9.5 = 2861

Answer = 2861 secs to fill the bath tub

Answer in minutes = 47.6 mins to fill the tub
