Question

A bathtub is filling with water at a rate of 72 inch3/second. The density of water is 0.58 ounce/inch3. How long will it take for the tub to fill with 11,000 ounces of water? Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures. It will take seconds.

Answer 1

Total time to fill the water = 263 second (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Total amount of water = 11,000 ounces

Density of water = 0.58 ounce/inch³

Rate = 72 inch³/second

Find:

Total time to fill the water

Computation:

Volume = mass / density

Volume of water = 11,000/ 0.58 = 18965.5172 inch³

Total time to fill the water = Volume of water / Rate

Total time to fill the water = 18965.5172 inch³ / 72 inch³/second

Total time to fill the water = 263.409961 second

Total time to fill the water = 263 second (Approx)
