5.3 minutes.  
First, let's calculate the volume of the tank. That will be the area of the base multiplied by it's length. And since it's base is a circle, the area is pi*r^2. So:
 V = l*pi*r^2
 V = 3.5 * pi * (2.2/2)^2
 V = 3.5 * pi * (1.1)^2
 V = 3.5 * pi * 1.21
 V = 4.235 * pi
 V = 13.30464489
 
 So the tank has a volume of about 13.3 ft^3. Now simply divide that volume
by the rate of incoming fluid. So
 13.3 / 2.5 = 5.32 
 Rounding to 2 significant figures gives a time of 5.3 minutes.

In a basketball game Fintan made 16 baskets. Each of the baskets is worth either 2 or 3
jekas [21]
Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.

Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39

Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y

Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7

So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)
