Respuesta :

It takes 3 minutes to fill 60L, so it takes 1 hour to fill 1200L.

Answer: 1200 liters per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : It takes 3 minutes to fill a 60 L bathing pool.

i.e. capacity of pool = 60 liters

Time taken to fill a 60 L bathing pool= 3 minutes

Then, the average rate in liters per minutes will be :-

[tex]\text{Average rate}=\dfrac{\text{Capacity of pool}}{\text{Time taken }}\times100\\\\ \text{i.e. Average rate}=\dfrac{60}{3}\text{ per minute}\\\\\text{i..e Average rate}=20\text{ per minute}[/tex]

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes

i.e. 1 minute=[tex]\dfrac{1}{60}[/tex]

Then, Average rate in liter per hour =[tex]\dfrac{20}{\dfrac{1}{60}}=20\times60\ \text{ liters per hour}=1200\text{ liters per hour}[/tex]

Hence, the average rate = 1200 liters per hour.
