Shemy placed three empty tanks side by side. The smallest tank has a crack at its side and the base area of each tank is 16 cm2. After she turned on the tap for 64 minutes, the height of the water in the smallest tank became 6 cm although 0.5 mℓ of water is leaking out of the crack per minute. Find the rate of flow of water from the tap. Give the answer in mℓ/min.

The figure shows an empty transparent tank made from three containers. The two containers A and B on top are in the form of cuboids which have square bases of side 6 cm and 4 cm as shown in the figure. The bottom container is in the form of a cube of side 14 cm. 3.42ℓ of water are poured into the empty vase. Find the height of the water level from the base of the vase. (1 litre = 1000 cm3)

The figure shows a rectangular tank measuring 30 cm by 15 cm by 20 cm. Vera poured 558 mℓ of water into the tank. Then she turned on two taps at the same time to fill up Tank with water. Water was flowing from both taps at the same rate. After 5 minutes, both taps were turned off but 1.2ℓ of water had overflowed and was collected in a tray. Find the rate of the flow of water of each tap in millimetres per minute.

A rectangular tank measuring 60 cm by 50 cm by 25 cm was to be filled with water by two taps, A and B. Tap A which fills the tank at a rate of 8ℓ per minute was first turned on for 5 minutes before Tap B was turned on as well. If the tank was filled to the brim in a total of 7 minutes from the time when Tap A was first turned on, what is the rate at which Tap B fills the tank? Give the answer in ℓ per minute correct to 1 decimal place.

Tank A, measuring 40 cm by 30 cm by 50 cm, was filled with water to the brim. Water was then poured from Tank A to Tank B, which has a base area of 900 cm2 until the height of the water level in Tank B became twice that of the water level in Tank A. Find the volume of water in Tank B, leaving the answer in litres.
