Question

6pipes fill a tank in 120 minutes, then 5 pipes will fill it in ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

100 min

Step-by-step explanation:

6 pipes fill the tank in = 120 min

1 pipe will fill the tank in = 120/6

                                        = 20 min

and 5 pipe will fill the tank in = 20×5

                                                = 100 min

Answer 2

Given,

6 pipes fill a tank in 120 minutes.

To find,

The time taken by 5 pipes to fill the tank.

Solution,

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

According to the question,

We have:

6 pipes fill a tank in 120 minutes.

6 pipes = 120 min

So, first, we will find the time taken by 1 pipe.

1 pipe = (120/6) min

1 pipe = 20 min

Now, to find the time taken by 5 pipes to fill the tank we will multiply this obtained figure by 5.

5 pipes = (20×5) min

5 pipes = 100 min

Hence, the time taken by 5 pipes to fill the tank is 100 minutes.
