Question

The level of water in a tank is 16 feet. The level decreases steadily, and the tank is emptied in 8 hours. What was the change in water level in the tank during the first hour?

Answer 1

During the first hour, the water change was 2 feet (or 14 feet)

Explanation:

We know that the level of water in a water tank was 16 feet, and that by 8 hours, it was empty. To find the change in the water level per hour, we need to divide 16 by 8.

16 ÷ 8 = 2

Therefore, during the first hour, the water change was 2 feet (or 14 feet)

Hope this helps! :D
