at what time will the container be completely empty?

Question

water ia leaking out of a container. at 2pm the container contains 3.2L of water. by 4:30pm the container only holds 2.3L of water.

Answer 1

at 2pm the container contains 3.2L of water. by 4:30pm the container only holds 2.3L of water

 

3.2 - 2.3 = .9L

4:30 PM - 2PM = 1.5 hours

 

So, the rte is .9L/1.5hr

 

2.3 L x (1.5hr/.9L) = 3.83 hours

 

4:30PM + 3. 83 hours = 7:30PM + .83 hours = 8:19 and 48 seconds
