Question

If 17 buckets can be filled by a pipe in 8 minutes,
then how many minutes will be taken by the pipe to
fill 45 such buckets?​

Answer 1

The pipe will require approx. 21 mins for filling 45 buckets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by the pipe to fill 45 buckets be x mins.

The pipe takes 8 mins to fill 17 buckets.

Hence, the time taken by the pipe to fill 45 buckets is :

8 mins ------- 17 buckets

x mins ------- 45 buckets

x mins = (45 x 8) / 17

= 21.18 mins

≈ 21 mins

Thus, the pipe will take approx. 21 mins for filling 45 buckets
