Question

A tank contains 500 litres of water. the water is leaking at a rate of 2 litres per day.

a) how long would it take for half the water to leak out?
Pls explain this and answer and workings

Answer 1

125 days.

Explanation:

How many 2 litres are there in 500?

That is 500/2 = 250.

Therefore the number of days to empty the whole tank is 250 days.

So for half to leak out it's 250/2 = 125 days.
