Question

what is the capacity of a container that is filled in 35 minutes by a tap that supplies 240 liters per hour​

Answer 1

• Answer:

capacity = 140 liters

• Step-by-step explanation:

1 h = 60 min

60 min ................ 240 l

35 min ...................... x l

x =35×240/60 = 8400/60 = 140 liters

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{140 \ liters}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle \sf 35 \ minutes = \frac{7}{12} \ hour$

$\sf \displaystyle liters \ per \ hour =\frac{liters}{hour}$

Let the liters amount be x.

$\sf \displaystyle 240 =\frac{x}{\frac{7}{12} }$

Multiplying both sides by $\sf \frac{7}{12}$

$\sf \displaystyle 240 \cdot \frac{7}{12} =\frac{x}{\frac{7}{12} } \cdot \frac{7}{12}$

$\sf 140=x$

The capacity of the container is 140 liters.
