    It will take 3 seconds for 1 milliliters of water to leak from the tank.

    Explanation:

    The rate of leak = volume of water/Time

    Q = V/t ... equation 1

    making t the subject of the equation above,

    t = V/Q ... Equation 2.

    where Q = rate of leak, V = volume of water, t = time

    Given: Q = 1200 milliliters per hour, V = 1 milliliters.

    Substituting these values into equation 2

    t = 1/1200

    t = 0.00083 hours.

    If I hours = 3600 seconds,

    Then, 0.00083 hours = 0.00083*3600 seconds

    = 3 second.

    Therefore it will take 3 seconds for 1 milliliters of water to leak from the tank.
