Question

Water flows at a steady rate from a tap. It takes 40 seconds to fill a 4-litre watering can from a tap. The rate at which the water flows is halved what rate does the water flow?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 0.05 liter per second

Step-by-step explanation:

In

40 seconds= 4 liter watering can fill

1 second=4/40=0.1 liter

if the rate is half then we divide 0.1 by 2

0.1/2=0.05 liter/s

so in 40 seconds=0.05*40=2 liter. This statement describes that when the water flows from a tap at a rate 0.05 liter in one second then in 40 seconds

this rate becomes half. First the watering can is fill 4 liter but now 2 liter due to half flow rate of water.
