Question

A bucket has 7/2 litre of water in it .a leaking tap fills 1/4 litre of water in 1 hour . if the bucket is kept below the leaking tap, how much water will be there in after 3/2 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.12 liter water left in the bucket

Answer 2

$\frac{31}{8}$ litre of water will be there in after $\frac{3}{2}$ hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A bucket has 7/2 litre of water in it.

A leaking tap fills 1/4 litre of water in 1 hour.

1 hour = $\frac{1}{4}$ Liter

$\frac{3}{2}\times 1$ hour = $\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}$ Liter

$\frac{3}{2}$ hour = $\frac{3}{8}$ Liter

That means leaking tap will fill 3/8 liters of water in 3/2 hours.

Therefore the total water is:

$\frac{7}{2} +\frac{3}{8}=\frac{28+3}{8}=\frac{31}{8}$

Hence, $\frac{31}{8}$ litre of water will be there in after $\frac{3}{2}$ hours.
