Well, it depends on how long it takes the container to start complaining about being filled. But in all seriousness, if the tap flows at a rate of 15 litres per minute, then it would take 20 minutes to fill a 300 litre container. Just make sure the container doesn't get too waterlogged and start making puns!
To find out how long it will take to fill a 300 liter container with a tap flowing at a rate of 15 liters per minute, you need to divide the total volume of the container by the flow rate of the tap.
To calculate the time, divide the volume of the container (300 liters) by the flow rate of the tap (15 liters/minute):
Time = Volume / Flow rate
Time = 300 liters / 15 liters/minute
Now, let's simplify the equation by canceling out the units of liters:
Time = 300 / 15 minutes
Now we can perform the calculation:
Time = 20 minutes
Therefore, it will take 20 minutes to fill the 300 liter container with the tap flowing at a rate of 15 liters per minute.
