Answer:
35 minutes
Explanation:
The flow rate of the stream is the rate of volume of water with respect to time. It expresses the volume of water flowing per unit time.
Flow rate = [tex]\frac{volume}{time}[/tex]
From the given question,
average flow rate of the stream = 420 cubic meters per minute, and the required volume = 14700 cubic meters.
So that;
time = [tex]\frac{volume}{flow rate}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14700}{420}[/tex]
= 35
time = 35 minutes
Therefore, with the given average flow rate, the steam will produce 14,700 cubic meters of water in 35 minutes.
