Time Measurement and Measuring Devices problem 19


A gardener must collect water from a tap into an empty tank, which must be filled by 1.15 p.m. He uses a tap with an automatic timer which can be set to switch on and off at certain times. The tap needs to be switched on for 3 hours 40 minutes in order to fill up the empty tank. At what time of the day does the tank need to switch on?
