Question

The volume of a cubicle reservoir is 160 m^3. If water is poured into the reservoir at the rate of 20 litre/ minute, how many hours will it take for the reservoir to fill up? ( be careful with the units. 1litre=1000 cm^3; 1m^3=1000 litre; 1 m^3=106 cm^3.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of flow of water = 60 litres/minute

Volume of the tank = 108 m3

1 m3 = 1000 litres

108 m3= 108000 litres

Time taken to fill the complete tank = 108000/60 = 1800 minutes = 1800/60 hours = 30 hours

The tank will be filled completely in 30 hours.
