Question

A barrel had 20 liters of water. water leaked out from the barrel at a constant rate. After 24 hours, 14 liters of water was left in the tank. How many liters of water leaked out per hour?

Answer 1

let speed of water leaking out = x/h

water left in the tank after 24h=20-(speedxtime)

=20-(24x)

=14

20-24x=14

24x=6

x=1/4
