Answer:
50421.6 m³
Explanation:
The river has an average rate of water flow of 59.6 m³/s.
Tributary B accounts for 47% of the rate of water flow. Therefore the rate of water flow through tributary B is:
Flow rate of water through tributary B = 47% of 59.6 m³/s = 0.47 * 59.6 m³/s = 28.012 m³/s
The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B = Flow rate of water through tributary B * time taken
time = 30 minutes = 30 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 1800 seconds
The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B in 30 seconds = 28.012 m³/s * 1800 seconds = 50421.6 m³
The answer is 2nd Step because the first step is to define the problem and third is to define your goals
