Question

A team of geologists is surveying glaciers on a mountain. They come across a newly formed stream. The stream is flowing at an average rate of 420 cubic meters per minute. At the average rate of flow, the stream will produce 14,700 cubic meters of water in minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

The stream is flowing at an average rate of: 420 m³ / min. 14,700 m³ : 420 m³ / min = 35 min. Answer: The steam will produce 14,700 cubic meters of water in 35 minutes.

Hoped it helped ✌️✌️

Answer 2

Answer:

It will take 35 minutes to produce 14,700 cubic meters of water.

Explanation:

Given the scenario is,

• There is a team of geologists.
• They are surveying glaciers on a mountain.
• They come across a newly formed stream.
• The stream is flowing at an average rate of 420 m³ per minute.

Now we have to find the time it will take to produce 14,700 m³ of water.

Time taken will be  = $\frac{14700}{420} = 35\ minutes$

So, it will take 35 minutes to produce 14,700 cubic meters of water.
