A bottle contains 2 liters of water. The bottle leaks 80 milliliters of water every 3 minutes. Will the bottle be empty in 1 hour? Explain why or why not. (1 liter = 1,000)

Respuesta :

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

2 liters = 2,000

80/3 = 26.6

the bottle leaks 26.6 milliliters in a min

26.6 * 60 = 1596

1596 / 1000 = 1.596 ( to convert to liters)

the bottle will leak 1.596 an hour

No, the bottle will not empty in one hour because the bottle will leak 1.596 an hour.

What is Unitary Method?

It is a method where we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple units and the value of multiple units from the value of a single unit.

Steps to Use Unitary Method

First, let us make a note of the information we have. There are 5 ice-creams. 5 ice-creams cost $125.

Step 1: Let’s find the cost of 1 ice cream. In order to do that, divide the total cost of ice-creams by the total number of ice-creams. The cost of 1 ice-cream = Total cost of ice-creams/Total number of ice-creams = 125/5 = 25. Therefore, the cost of 1 ice cream is $25.

Step 2: To find the cost of 3 ice-creams, multiply the cost of 1 ice cream by the number of ice-creams. The cost of 3 ice-creams is cost of 1 ice-cream × number of ice-creams = 25 × 3 = $75. Finally, we have the cost of 3 ice-creams i.e. $75.

Given:

Volume of bottle = 2 liters = 2,000 ml

For three  minutes bottle leaks = 80 ml

In one minute bottle leak= 80/3

                                   = 26.6 ml

In one minutes the bottle leak

=26.6 * 60

= 1596 ml

=1.596 liters

1596 / 1000 = 1.596 ( to convert to liters)

No, the bottle will not empty in one hour because the bottle will leak 1.596 an hour.
