Question 276855: The time t required to empty a tank varies inversely as the rate r of pumping. If a pump can empty a tank in 45 mins at the rate of 600kL/ min, how long will it take the pump to empty the same tank at the rate of 1000kL/min? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The time t required to empty a tank varies inversely as the rate r of pumping. If a pump can empty a tank in 45 mins at the rate of 600kL/ min, how long will it take the pump to empty the same tank at the rate of 1000kL/min?
600 kl it empties in 45 minutes
1000 kl it will take less time
600/1000 * 45 = 27 mis.
