Question

8 taps can fill a tank in 27 minutes with the same rate of flow the three taps go out of order how long will the remaining tab take to fill the tank​

Answer 1

Answer:

43.2 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

8 taps will take 27 minutes

If 3 taps are out of order,

there are 8 - 3 = 5 taps left.

Find the time needed if there was only 1 tap:

8 taps = 27 mins

1 tap = 27 x 8 = 216 min

Find the time needed if there were 5 taps:

1 tap = 216 mins

5 tap = 216 ÷ 5 = 43.2 mins

Answer 2

Answer:

ans= 43.2 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

8 taps can fill a tank in = 27 mins

1 tap can fill the tank in= 27*8= 216

if three taps r out of order then 5 taps remain

no 5 taps can fill the tank in = 216/5= 43.2 mins
