If it takes 3.6 minutes to fill a 3000ml container, how long will it take to fill a 1.5L container?

Answer:

1.8 min

Explanation:

This question is easier to answer than it would be in general.

3000 mL = 3 L

1.5L is exactly half of that, so the time to fill the 1.5L container is half the time it takes to fill the 3L container.

Half of 3.6 minutes is 1.8 minutes
