Question

Si una llave vierte 6 1/3 litros de agua por minuto, ¿cuánto tiempo tardará en llenar un depósito de 88 2/3 litros de capacidad?

Answer 1

Answer: 14 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A tap pours $6\dfrac13$ liters of water per minute.

To find : Time taken to fill an$88 \dfrac23$ liters capacity tank.

which is given by :-

Time = $88 \dfrac23\div 6\dfrac13$ minutes

$=\dfrac{3\times88+2}{3}\div\dfrac{3\times6+1}{3}$  minutes

$=\dfrac{266}{3}\div \dfrac{19}{3}$ minutes

$=\dfrac{266}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{19}$  minutes

$=\dfrac{266}{19}=14\text{ minutes}$

Hence, it will take 14 minutes to fill an$88 \dfrac23$ liters capacity tank.
