Answer 2

Given :

A shower drips at the rate of 150ml an hour.

to Find :

How many litres of water would drip from it in 8 hours?

Solution:

Water drip s in 1 hour = 150 ml

1000 ml = 1 l

150 ml =$\frac{150}{1000}=0.15 l$

So, water drips in 1 hour = 0.15 l

Water drips in 8 hours =$0.15 \times 8 =1.2 l$

Hence 1.2 liters of water would drip from it in 8 hours
