Question

if takes 14 taps to fill a swimming pool in 10 hour. how much time will it take 5 taps to fill the pool​

Answer 1

Answer:

28 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

14 taps fill the pool in 10 hrs.

Filling of pool = 14 taps × 10 hrs = 140 tap-hours

It means total 140 tap hours (each tap takes 10 hrs, sum of all the time taken by 14 taps is 140 hrs) is required to fill the pool.

If they're only 5 taps then,

Time = (140 tap-hours) / (5 taps) = 28 hrs
