Given: A tap pours [tex]6\dfrac13[/tex] liters of water per minute.
To find : Time taken to fill an[tex]88 \dfrac23[/tex] liters capacity tank.
which is given by :-
Time = [tex]88 \dfrac23\div 6\dfrac13[/tex] minutes
[tex]=\dfrac{3\times88+2}{3}\div\dfrac{3\times6+1}{3}[/tex] minutes
[tex]=\dfrac{266}{3}\div \dfrac{19}{3}[/tex] minutes
[tex]=\dfrac{266}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{19}[/tex] minutes
[tex]=\dfrac{266}{19}=14\text{ minutes}[/tex]
Hence, it will take 14 minutes to fill an[tex]88 \dfrac23[/tex] liters capacity tank.
