Answer:
Rate r = 2500 cm^3 per minute.
the volume of water that flows from the tap each minute is 2,500 cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Dimension of fish tank = 40 cm by 25 cm by 24 cm
Volume of tank V = l×b×h = 40×25×24 cm^3
V = 24000 cm^3
From the question;
The fish tank is 5/8 full in 6 minutes
The volume of water in the tank in 6 minutes is;
V(6) = 5/8 × V = 5/8 × 24000
V(6) = 15000 cm^3
The rate of flow of water from tap per minute is;
Rate r = V(6) ÷ time
r = V(6) ÷ 6 minutes
r = 15000 ÷ 6
r = 2500 cm^3 per minute.
the volume of water that flows from the tap each minute is 2,500 cm^3
