Answer:
It will take 3 seconds for 1 milliliters of water to leak from the tank.
Explanation:
The rate of leak = volume of water/Time
Q = V/t .................................. equation 1
making t the subject of the equation above,
t = V/Q............................. Equation 2.
where Q = rate of leak, V = volume of water, t = time
Given: Q = 1200 milliliters per hour, V = 1 milliliters.
Substituting these values into equation 2
t = 1/1200
t = 0.00083 hours.
If I hours = 3600 seconds,
Then, 0.00083 hours = 0.00083×3600 seconds
= 3 second.
Therefore it will take 3 seconds for 1 milliliters of water to leak from the tank.
