A rectangular container measuring 86 cm by 60 cm by 23 cm was to be filled with water by two taps, F and G. Tap F which fills the tank at a rate of 9 ℓ per minute was first turned on for 3 minutes before Tap G was turned on as well. If the tank was filled to the brim in a total of 7 minutes from the time when Tap F was first turned on, what is the rate at which Tap G fills the tank? Give your answer in ℓ per minute correct to 1 decimal place.
Total volume of the container
= 86 x 60 x 23
= 118680 cm
3 1 ℓ = 1000 cm
3 9 ℓ = 9000 cm
3 Volume of water filled by Tap F
= 9000 x 7
= 63000 cm
3 Volume of water filled by Tap G
= 118680 - 63000
= 55680 cm
3 Rate in which Tap G fills the container
= 55680 ÷ 4
= 13920 cm3/min
13920 mℓ/min
= 13.92 ℓ/min
≈ 13.9 ℓ/min (Correct to 1 decimal place)
Answer(s): 13.9 ℓ/min
