The figure shows a rectangular container measuring 33 cm by 39 cm by 36 cm. Abi poured 464 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 3.6 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
= 33 x 39 x 36
= 46332 cm³
= 46332 mℓ

Volume of the remaining space after water was poured in
= 46332 - 464
= 45868 mℓ 

1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ
3.6 ℓ = 3600 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 2 taps
= 45868 + 3600
= 49468 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 1 tap
= 49468 ÷ 2 
= 24734 mℓ 

Rate of flow per minute
= 24734 ÷ 5
= 4946.8 mℓ/min

Answer(s): 4946.8 mℓ/min
