Suppose that it is raining. After 2,5 hours, the dam contains 2000 litres. What is the rate of litres flowing into the dam every minute?

To find the rate of liters flowing into the dam every minute, we first convert 2.5 hours into minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 2.5 hours is equal to 150 minutes (2.5 × 60 = 150). Now, we divide the total volume of water, which is 2000 liters, by the total time in minutes: 2000 liters ÷ 150 minutes = approximately 13.33 liters per minute. So, the dam is receiving water at a rate of about 13.33 liters every minute! Now, let’s celebrate our math skills with a real-world flair: think about a rainwater harvesting system! If every home captured rainwater like this, we could use those extra liters for irrigation or other uses, reducing our reliance on municipal water. It’s like nature’s gift, turning a rainy day into a resourceful adventure!
