A pump can fill 3/18 of a tank in an hour. If the pump fills the same amount every hour, what fraction of the tank can the pump fill in 5 hours?
A) 5/6
B) 1/6
C) 1/30
D) 2/9​

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept :

The concept of fraction will helped to solve the question.Any number of equal parts is represented by a fraction, which also represents a portion of a whole.

Given:

The pump can fill $\frac{3}{8}$ of a tank in $1$ hour and this fills the same amount every hour.

To find:

We have to get the fraction that can be filled by the pump in $5$ hours.

Solution:

To get the amount of  $5$ hours we have to multiply $5$ with the amount of $1$ hour.

The pump can fill in  $1$ hour is  $\frac{3}{8}$ of a tank .

This can fill in $5$ hour is $5 \times\frac{3}{18} =\frac{15}{18}$ .

The correct option is $\frac{15}{18}=\frac{5}{6}$

Therefore, $\frac{5}{6}$ of the of the tank can the pump fill in $5$ hours .
