Loss of 1 3/5 mL in 10 min.
a. Use a complex fraction to
represent the change in the
volume of water in 1 minute.
___ milliliters
10 minutes
b. Simplify the complex fraction to find the change in the volume of water in the tank in 1 minute.


Sagot :

The change in the volume of water in 1 minute is a decrease of 0.16 milliliters.

Since a water tank in Stewart's home had a small, steady leak loss of 1 3/5 mL in 10 min, to find the change in the volume of water in 1 minute, the following calculation must be performed:

  • The total leak must be calculated and divided by the 10 minutes duration.  
  • 3/5 = 0.6
  • 1 + 0.6 = 1.6
  • 1.6 / 10 = 0.16

Therefore, the change in the volume of water in 1 minute is a decrease of 0.16 milliliters.
