Answer 1

Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we are informed that a fish tank has sprung a leak at the bases of the tank and that 5% of the water is lost every minute

Based on the information given, the amount of water that is lost from the tank after ten minutes will be:

= 5% × 10

= 0.05 × 10

= 0.5

= 50%

This means that after 10minutes, 50% of the water will be lost.
