Question

Suppose 39.2 liters of water came out of a faucet today. If 3.5 liters of water come out each minute, for how many minutes was the faucet on?

Answer 1

To find out how many minutes the faucet was on, we need to divide the total amount of water that came out of the faucet by the rate at which the water comes out per minute.

39.2 liters / 3.5 liters per minute = 11.2 minutes

Therefore, the faucet was on for 11.2 minutes.
