Question

Two-third of a tank can be filled in 17- 1/3 minutes. How minutes will be required to fill the whole tank?

Answer 1

Answer:

I know answer for 18 mins...The same formula is applyed for 17 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first agree that the tank has been divided into 3 parts.

Two parts of the tank have been filled leaving only the last part unfilled.

18 minutes was used to fill the 2 parts of the tank.This means on average 9 minutes was used to fill one part of the tank.

We were told from the expression that the tank has 3 parts.

So to fill the whole 3 parts of the tank we need to add 9+9+9 or 9×3=27

Therefore it will take 27 minutes to fill the whole tank
