Question

a soil sample has percolation of 5ml min. if 1l of water is poured on this sample Will it take to perculate completely​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 minutes

Explanation:

If it takes 1 min for 5ml of water to percolate then according to this calculation for 1000ml of water to percolate it would take

1 minute ------- 5 ml

y minute ------ 1000 ml

cross multiply

1 x 1000 = 5 x y

therefore,

y = 1000/5

y = 200 minutes i.e. 3hrs 20 minutes
