Tim needs to fill 3 20L barrels with oil. Oil dispenser flows at 100ml/s . How long to fill up 3 barrels.

Please help by showing all steps so I can understand how the answer was determined.
Thanks!

First determine volume of three containers [3 x 20L = 60L]. Then convert fill rate from mL/s to L/min. Recall 1L = 1000mL and 60s = 1 minute;

100 / 1000 x 60 = 6L/min];
Then divide total volume by fill rate [60 / 6 = 10 minutes]

3 of the 20 L barrels

= 3(20000) ml
= 60000 ml

at a rate of 100 ml/s
it would take 60000/100 seconds
= ...

Well, Tim needs to fill up 3 barrels, each with a capacity of 20 liters. We can start by converting the capacity of each barrel from liters to milliliters because the oil dispenser flows at 100ml/s.

Since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, each barrel has a capacity of 20 x 1000 = 20,000 milliliters.

Now, we know the oil dispenser flows at a rate of 100ml/s, so we can find out how long it will take to fill up one barrel by dividing the capacity by the flow rate: 20,000ml / 100ml/s = 200 seconds.

Since Tim needs to fill up 3 barrels, we can multiply the time it takes to fill up one barrel by 3: 200 seconds/barrel x 3 barrels = 600 seconds.

So, it will take Tim 600 seconds to fill up 3 barrels with oil.

Hope that helps! And remember, if Tim brings a clown to help, it might be faster because clowns are known for their speedy antics! 🤡

To determine how long it will take to fill up three 20L barrels with an oil dispenser that flows at a rate of 100ml/s, we need to calculate the total time it takes to dispense 20L of oil from the dispenser.

Step 1: Convert the volume of oil in the barrel from liters to milliliters.
1 liter = 1000 milliliters

Since each barrel has a volume of 20L, the volume in milliliters is:
20L * 1000ml/L = 20,000ml

Step 2: Determine the time it takes to fill up one barrel.
The dispenser flows at a rate of 100ml/s, so it will take:
20,000ml / 100ml/s = 200s to fill up one barrel.

Step 3: Calculate the total time to fill up three barrels.
Since we have three barrels, we need to multiply the time it takes to fill up one barrel by three:
200s * 3 = 600s

Therefore, it will take Tim 600 seconds (or 10 minutes) to fill up three 20L barrels using an oil dispenser that flows at a rate of 100ml/s.
