Answer: It will be 0.5 and so on ;)
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of flow of water in the fish tank will be given by:
rate=volume/time
the rate of our tank is 15 gallons every 10 minutes. Thus,
rate=15/10=1.5 gallons/ minute
Therefore time taken for the tank to overflow will be:
time=volume×rate
volume of the tank=315 gallons
rate=1.5 gallons per minute
hence:
time=315×1.5
=472.5 minutes
=7 7/8 hours=7.875 hours
