Question
A tap is dripping at a rate of 10 millilitres per minute. A bucket with a capacity of 9.6 litres is placed under the tap. How long in hours will it take to fill the bucket?
Solution
The tap is dripping at a rate of 10 millilitres per minute.
The bucket has a capacity of 9.6 litres, which is equal to 9600 millilitres (since 1 litre = 1000 millilitres).
To find out how long it will take to fill the bucket, we divide the total capacity of the bucket by the rate at which the tap is dripping.
So, 9600 millilitres ÷ 10 millilitres/minute = 960 minutes.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 960 minutes ÷ 60 = 16 hours.
Therefore, it will take 16 hours to fill the bucket.
