Question

An engine pumps 2,85,000 litres of water in five hours. How many litres of water will the engine pump in one minute? ​

Answer 1

Since it pumps 2,85,000 litres in 5 hours that is in 300 minutes. So in 1 minute it will pump 2,85,000 litres÷300=950 litres.

Answer 2

Answer:

950 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Water pumped in 5 hrs = 2,85,000 litres

Water pumped in 1 hrs = 2,85,000/5 =57000 litres

Water pumped in 1 minutes = 57000/60 litres

= 950 litres
