a 2000 L tank containing 550 L of water is being filled with water at the rate of 75 L per minute from a full 1600 L tank. how long will it be before the two tanks have the same amount of water?
----------------------
The total is 2150 liters (1600 + 550), so there'll be 1075 liters in each tank.
550 to 1075 is an increase of 525 liters.
525/75 = 7 minutes.
