Answer:

34²/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the dam to be a take and the exit of the dam to be a tap at the bottom which is used to empty the tank and the river to be a pipe at the top of the tank that is used to fill the tank

The tap takes 16 week to empty the tank how much will it empty in 1 week =¹/16

The pipe takes 30 week to fill the tank how much will it fill in 1 week =¹/30

¹/16-¹/30= ?

Get the LCM of the denominator which is 240

The fractions are now

15/240-⁸/240=⁷/240

1week=⁷/240 empty

? = 240/240 empty

Cross multiple

240/240×1÷7/240

240/240×1÷240/7=240/7

7÷240=34²/7 weeks
