It would take 120 minutes to fill a swimming pool with water from 5 taps. How many minutes will it take to fill the pool of only 3 taps are used?
4 answers
3/5 the taps, so 5/3 the time.
If
5 taps ----> 120 mins
3 taps -----> X mins
Then
X = [3*120]/(5)
X = 72 mins
5 taps ----> 120 mins
3 taps -----> X mins
Then
X = [3*120]/(5)
X = 72 mins
What do you mean? If I turn 5 taps on you will get more water come out than if I turn 3 taps on?
yes you will get more water in 5 taps than 3 taps
