Answer:
the time taken for the 15 people to drink 155 pints is 20.67 min.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
10 people took 5 mins to drink 25 pints of water
[tex]The \ rate\ for \ 10 \ people = \frac{25 \ pints }{5 \ mins} = 5 \ \frac{pints}{\min} \\\\The \ rate \ for \ 1 \ person = \frac{5}{10} \ \frac{pints}{\min} = 0.5 \ \frac{pints}{\min} \\\\The \ rate \ for \ 15 \ people = 15( 0.5 \ \frac{pints}{\min} )= 7.5 \ \frac{pints}{\min} \\\\Time \ taken \ for \ the \ 15 \ people \ to \ drink \ 155 \ pints = \frac{155 \ pints}{7.5 \ pints/ \min} \\\\= 20.67 \min[/tex]
Therefore, the time taken for the 15 people to drink 155 pints is 20.67 min.
