Question

how long does it take to empty 1.75L bottle if it leaks 5 ml every minute? Give your answer in hours and minutes

Answer 1

Convert litres to ml:

1.75 litres = 1750 ml

Find the number of minutes needed to empty the bottle:

number of minutes needed = 1750 ÷ 5 = 350 mins

Convert the mins to hour and mins:

350 mins = (350 ÷ 60) hour

350 mins  = 5 Reminder 50

350 mins = 5 hours 50 mins

Answer: It will take 5 hours and 50 minutes to empty the bottle
