The figure shows a rectangular container measuring 40 cm by 11 cm by 14 cm. Erika poured 158 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 4.1 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
= 40 x 11 x 14
= 6160 cm³
= 6160 mℓ

Volume of the remaining space after water was poured in
= 6160 - 158
= 6002 mℓ 

1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ
4.1 ℓ = 4100 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 2 taps
= 6002 + 4100
= 10102 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 1 tap
= 10102 ÷ 2 
= 5051 mℓ 

Rate of flow per minute
= 5051 ÷ 5
= 1010.2 mℓ/min

Answer(s): 1010.2 mℓ/min
