    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
