Question 54508: a 1000L tank now contains 240L of water. How long will it take to fill the tank using a pump that pumps L per minute

L liters/min * t min = (1000 - 240) liters
t min = 760 liters / L liters/min
If L were 760 liters/min, it would take 1 min
If L were 1520 liters/min, it would take 1/2 min
