The figure shows a rectangular container measuring 42 cm by 34 cm by 41 cm. Opal poured 202 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 3 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
= 42 x 34 x 41
= 58548 cm³
= 58548 mℓ

Volume of the remaining space after water was poured in
= 58548 - 202
= 58346 mℓ 

1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ
2.8 ℓ = 2800 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 2 taps
= 58346 + 2800
= 61146 mℓ

Volume of water contributed by 1 tap
= 61146 ÷ 2 
= 30573 mℓ 

Rate of flow per minute
= 30573 ÷ 3
= 10191 mℓ/min

Answer(s): 10191 mℓ/min
