problem solving
david sat beside an empty artificial pond. ime did at 11:15 the pond began to fill up the water rose 12.5 cm every 30 minutes. hhow long did it take and at what time did the water level reach 2.5 meters using t-table and the patter rule
I have to admit that I don't know what "t-table and the patter rule" means, but solving this problem
is simple enough.
2.5 m / 12.5 cm = 20
There are 20 "steps" of 12.5 cm from empty to the final depth. Each "step" takes 30 minutes, or 1/2 hr.
20 * 1/2 hr = 10 hrs
The water will reach the final level 10 hrs after the process begins.
11:15 + 10 = 21:15
21:15 is 9:15 pm
