Question

Si una llave vierte 6 1/3 litros de agua por minuto, ¿cuánto tiempo tardará en llenar un depósito de 88 2/3 litros de capacidad?

Answer 1

Answer: 14 minutes

Explanation:

Given: A tap pours
`6\frac13` liters of water per minute.

To find : Time taken to fill an
`88 \frac23` liters capacity tank.

which is given by :-

Time =
`88 \frac23/ 6\frac13` minutes

`=(3*88+2)/(3)/(3*6+1)/(3)` minutes

`=(266)/(3)/ (19)/(3)` minutes

`=(266)/(3)*(3)/(19)` minutes

`=(266)/(19)=14\text{ minutes}`

Hence, it will take 14 minutes to fill an
`88 \frac23` liters capacity tank.
