Question

How many seconds would it take to fill a water balloon with a pint of water if the hose dispenses water at the rate of 20 pints/minute?

seconds?

Answer 1

3 seconds

Explanation:

1 minute = 60 sec

fill rate = 20 pints/60 sec = 0.33 pints/sec

t = time

(0.33 pints/sec)(t) = 1 pint

t = (1 pint) / (0.33 pint/sec) = 3 sec
