A cylindrical water tank is being filled with a hose. The depth of the water increases by 1 1/4 ft per hour.

How many hours will it take for the water level in the tank to be 3 1/2 ft deep?

Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form in the box.

It would really Help :) Thank you

Respuesta :

Expressing the values as improper fractions for easy calculations:
Rate of filling = 5/4 feet per hour
Depth to be reached = 7/2 feet

Time taken = depth / rate
Time = 7/2 x 4/5
Time = 14/5 hours

As a mixed number:
Time = 2 4/5 hours
