The total volume of water in the tank after 3 mins 24.75 gallons.

<h3>New volume of water in the tank</h3>

The new volume of water that entered into the tank is calculated as follows;

V₁ = 0.1 L/sec x (3 x 60 s)

V₁ = 18 L

<h3>Volume of water in liters to gallon</h3>

1 liter = 0.264 gallons

18 Liter = ?

= 18 x 0.264

= 4.75 gallons

<h3>Total volume of water in the tank after 3 mins</h3>

V = 20 gallons + 4.75 gallons

V = 24.75 gallons
