Hi. How would you write the equation for the question 'how long would it takento empty out the oceans with a spoon?

Question

Given that there are around 321,003,271 cubic miles of water and a tablespoon holds 15ml. Thanks

Answer 1

This question cannot be answered unless the rate of spoonwork is given.  (spoonfuls per minute or hour is required)

 

Also, where does each spoonful go? Probably, also, the effect of evaporation may need to be considered.

 

A better question might be "how many spoonfuls" is that?"
