The change in the volume of water in 1 minute is a decrease of 0.16 milliliters.
Since a water tank in Stewart's home had a small, steady leak loss of 1 3/5 mL in 10 min, to find the change in the volume of water in 1 minute, the following calculation must be performed:
The total leak must be calculated and divided by the 10 minutes duration.
3/5 = 0.6
1 + 0.6 = 1.6
1.6 / 10 = 0.16
Therefore, the change in the volume of water in 1 minute is a decrease of 0.16 milliliters.
