A tank has 800 liters of water. 12ml of water leaks from the tank every second.how long does it take for the tank to be empty

Assumptions and givens:
  • Let the number of seconds be s.
  • An empty tank means 0 liters of water.
  • Leaks mean we subtract from the starting volume.
We have the following relation:
800 - 12s = 0

To solve this equation for s, we type it in our search engine and we get:
s = 66.67 seconds
