Question

Please help me with question 4!

Answer 1

Answer:

I think that there might be some complex differential equation

stuff going on here if this were in the real world, but for the sake of this problem... may I suggest that the tank is filling up  at a rate of

1/8 of a tank per hour...

it is evaporating at a rate of 1/12 tank per hour

you can subtract the rates

1/8 - 1/12 = 12/96- 8/96 = 3/96 = 1/32 tank/hr

so to fill the tank it should take 32 hours...

I think the logic and math work... lets see if someone else will verify this analysis?
