Question

8 pipes can fill a tank in 3 hours. Find how long will it take for 10 pipes to fill tank

Answer 1

Answer:

1 hr and 10 mins will be 70mins

So 8 pipes take 70 mins to fill a tank.

The more number of pipes, the less time it takes to fill a tank. In this case, the tank is a constant as there is only 1 tank needed to be filled.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=k/x

let y be time

let x be number of pipes

70=k/8

k= 70(8)

k= 560

y=560/5

y= 112mins

y= 1hr 52mins
