The Hamptons family has a fish tank holding 10,450 ml of water.The water is leaking at a rate of 270 ml per minute.
Part A: Define the input and output in the given scenario.
Part B: Write a function to model this situation.
Part C: How many liters of water will be left in the tank after 10 minutes.
Part A:
Input: Initial volume of water in the tank (10,450 ml) and the rate of leakage (270 ml per minute)
Output: Remaining volume of water in the tank after a certain number of minutes
Part B:
Let's define a function called "remaining_water_volume" that takes two inputs: initial_volume and leakage_rate. The function will return the remaining volume of water in the tank after a certain number of minutes.
The function can be defined as:
def remaining_water_volume(initial_volume, leakage_rate, minutes):
remaining_volume = initial_volume - leakage_rate * minutes
return remaining_volume
Part C:
To find out how many liters of water will be left in the tank after 10 minutes, we need to convert the remaining volume from milliliters to liters. There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter.
Using the function defined in Part B, we can calculate the remaining volume after 10 minutes as follows:
remaining_volume_after_10_minutes = remaining_water_volume(10450, 270, 10)
remaining_volume_in_liters = remaining_volume_after_10_minutes / 1000
Therefore, the number of liters of water left in the tank after 10 minutes would be remaining_volume_in_liters.
