The figure shows a rectangular tank measuring 44 cm by 36 cm by 24 cm. Raeann poured 524 mℓ of water into the tank. Then, she turned on two taps at the same time to fill up the tank with water. Water was flowing from both taps at the same rate. After 4 minutes, both taps were turned off but 2.7 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 tank
= 44 x 36 x 24
= 38016 cm³
= 38016 mℓ

Volume of the remaining space after water was poured in
= 38016 - 524
= 37492 mℓ 

1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ
2.7 ℓ = 2700 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 2 taps
= 37492 + 2700
= 40192 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 1 tap
= 40192 ÷ 2 
= 20096 mℓ 

Rate of flow per minute
= 20096 ÷ 4
= 5024 mℓ/min

Answer(s): 5024 mℓ/min
