15 liters of water flow
through a water pipe
and enter a tank
within 4.5 minutes
How much time does
it take to pump 727.5
liters of water into a
water tank using 2
similar water pipes?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 15 liters of water flow through a water pipe and enter a tank within 4.5 minutes, the same amount of water would flow through a similar pipe at the same time. Therefore, if two similar water pipes are used, the volume of water that would flow into the tank in 4.5 minutes is 15 × 2 = 30 liters

Therefore, the time it will take to pump 727.5 liters of water into a water tank using 2 similar water pipes is

(727.5 × 4.5)/30 = 109.125 minutes
