what would be the minimum number of pumps required to fill a tank of 1000 m 3 to 85 % in one hour ? the capacity of the pump is 150 m 3 / hour and operates at an efficiency of 75 % .
volume handled by pump in one hour = 150 x . 75 = 112.5 volume of the tank that needs to be filled = 1000 x . 85 = 850 number of pumps needed = 850 / 112.5 = 7.55 â ‰ ˆ 8 answer : b
floor(add(divide(divide(multiply(1000, 85), const_100), divide(multiply(150, 75), const_100)), const_1))
