A pipe can fill \( \Large \frac{2}{3} \)rds of a tank in 16 minutes. How long will it take to fill 3/4ths of the tank?

A) 12 minutes

B) 15 minutes

C) 18 minutes

D) 24 minutes

Correct answer:
C) 18 minutes

Description for Correct answer:
lf the pipe can fill \( \Large \frac{2}{3} \)rds of the in 16 minutes, it will take \( \Large \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}} \times 16=\frac{3}{2} \times 16 = 24 minutes \) to fill the entire tank.

If it takes 24 minutes to fill the tank, it will take \( \Large \frac{3}{4} \times 24=18 \) minutes to fill 3/4ths of the tank.
