Question

eight water faucets having the same rate of flow,fill a tank in 27 minutes.If two faucets are turned off,how long will the remaining 6water faucets take to fill the tank?​

Answer 1

36 minutes

Explanation:

If x is the flow rate of each faucet, then 8x is the flow of eight faucets, and the volume of the tank is:

V = (8x) (27)

V = 216x

When there are six faucets, the time is:

216x = (6x) t

t = 36
