Question 924936: The time t required to empty a tank varies inversely as the pump rate r. A pump can empty a tank in 55 minutes as the rate of 900 kiloliters per minute. How long would it take to pump the tank empty at the rate of 1400 kiloliters per minute?
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
r = v/t
900 = v/55
v = 900*55
v = 49500 kiloliters
---
t = v/r
t = 49500/1400
t = 35.357 minutes
