Answer 1

Answer:

3.75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 2/3 minutes, Aaron's Tire loses 8/9 of a liter of air

Total Volume of Air in the Tyre = 5 liters

Now, we divide the total volume by volume of air lost every stated interval to know how many air loss it will take the Tyre to be empty

$\dfrac{5}{8/9} =\dfrac{5X9}{8} =\dfrac{45}{8}$

Then, to get when the tire will be completely flat in:

$(\frac{2}{3}X\frac{45}{8}) minutes$=3.75 minutes=3 minutes 45 seconds

The tyre will be empty in 3 minutes 45 seconds
