Given two bowls A and B
The bowl A emptand and the bowl B contains 32 liters of water.
We fill the bowls with water until theand are full, here is a graph showing the amount of water in the two bowls as a function of time
After how manand minutes from the time the taps are opened will there be 24 liters of water in the tank A?
To solve this problem, we will analyze the graph provided:
The problem states that bowl A starts empty and we need to find out when it reaches 24 liters of water. Observing the graph:
- The line representing bowl A starts at 0 liters.
- Locate the point where the line meets the 24-liter mark on the vertical scale (y-axis).
- From this intersection, move down vertically to the horizontal scale (x-axis) to read the corresponding time in minutes.
According to the graph, when bowl A contains 24 liters of water, the corresponding time is 10 minutes.
Therefore, the answer to the problem is 10 minutes.
