Rayan Mcfarland · Answer 1

250 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a indirect proportion relationship between the time taken to fill the swimming pool and the number of taps. As such, as the number of taps increases, the time taken to fill the swimming pool actually decreases.

As such, if it would take 150 minutes to fill a swimming pool using the water from the 5 taps, filling the same pool from 3 taps would take

= 5/3 * 150 minutes

= 750/3 minutes

= 250 minutes
