The figure shows a rectangular container measuring 28 cm by 18 cm by 33 cm. Natalie poured 416 mℓ of water into the container. Then, she turned on two taps at the same time to fill up the container with water. Water was flowing from both taps at the same rate. After 5 minutes, both taps were turned off but 2.8 ℓ of water had overflowed and was collected in a tray. Find the rate of the flow of water of each tap in millilitres per minute.
Volume of the container
= 28 x 18 x 33
= 16632 cm³
= 16632 mℓ

Volume of the remaining space after water was poured in
= 16632 - 416
= 16216 mℓ 

1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ
2.8 ℓ = 2800 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 2 taps
= 16216 + 2800
= 19016 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 1 tap
= 19016 ÷ 2 
= 9508 mℓ 

Rate of flow per minute
= 9508 ÷ 5
= 1901.6 mℓ/min

Answer(s): 1901.6 mℓ/min
