Answer:
<em>It will take 3 seconds for 1 milliliters of water to leak from the tank.</em>
Explanation:
The rate of leak = volume of water/Time
Q = V/t .................................. equation 1
making t the subject of the equation above,
t = V/Q............................. Equation 2.
where Q = rate of leak, V = volume of water, t = time
<em>Given: Q = 1200 milliliters per hour, V = 1 milliliters.</em>
Substituting these values into equation 2
t = 1/1200
t = 0.00083 hours.
<em>If I hours = 3600 seconds,</em>
<em>Then, 0.00083 hours = 0.00083×3600 seconds</em>
<em>= 3 second.</em>
<em>Therefore it will take 3 seconds for 1 milliliters of water to leak from the tank.</em>
