Question 9 A tap takes 15 seconds to fill a mug of water. The volume of the mug is 500 mL. How much time does the same tap take to fill a bucket of water if the bucket has a 10-litre capacity?First, we convert units so they match. Bucket capacity =10 Litres =𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎" " 𝐦𝐋. Now, we calculate how many "mugs" fit in the bucket Number of mugs = (π‘‡π‘œπ‘‘π‘Žπ‘™ π‘£π‘œπ‘™π‘’π‘šπ‘’)/(π‘‰π‘œπ‘™π‘’π‘šπ‘’ π‘œπ‘“ 1 π‘šπ‘’π‘”) = 10,000/500 = 20 mugs Now, 1 mug is filled in = 15 seconds 20 mugs are filled in = 20 Γ— 15 seconds = 300 seconds Converting into minutes = 300/60 = 5 minutes Hence, it will take πŸ“ minutes.
