Question

Ashley is the utilities manager at a paper mill she’s watching over one of her holding tanks. It takes 4/5 of an hour to fill 1/2 the tank at this rate how many holding tanks will she still in one hour?

Answer 1

she will hold the same tank in one hour

Explanation:

1 hour = 60 minutes

4/5 of an hour = 4/5 * 60 = 48 minutes

it takes 48 minutes to fill 1/2 the tank

and will take another 48 minutes to fill the other half of the tank

thus,

Ashley will be holding the same tank in one hour as it needs more than an hour to fill
