Question

Tank P starts with 65 gallons of water.. Tank Q starts with 63.5 gallons of water. When will both tanks have the same amount of water in them? At how many minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of water in p = 65 gallons

Volume of water in q = 63.5 gallons

Initially,

Vip = 65 gallon

Viq = 63.5 gallon

Volumetric rate, v = volume/time

At the time both tanks will be filled,

Vfp = Vfq

Final volume, Vf = Vi + v×t

65 - vt = 63.5 + vt

65 - Kt = 63.5 + Mt

Calculating t,

65 - 63.5 = Mt + Kt

1.5 = (M + K) × t

Time, t = 1.5/(M + K) minutes
