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
[tex]\dfrac{5}{8/9} =\dfrac{5X9}{8} =\dfrac{45}{8}[/tex]
Then, to get when the tire will be completely flat in:
[tex](\frac{2}{3}X\frac{45}{8}) minutes[/tex]=3.75 minutes=3 minutes 45 seconds
The tyre will be empty in 3 minutes 45 seconds
