    Answer:

    10.8 minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given data

    We are told that the number of Jugs is 18

    Filling the first 3 jugs has taken 5 minutes

    let us find the filling rate

    Rate= 3/5

    Rate= 0.6 Jugs per minute

    Hence the rate of filling is 0.6 Jugs per minute

    Therefore the time take to fill the remaining 16 jugs is

    TIme= Rate*Number of Jugs

    TIme= 0.6*18

    Time= 10.8 minutes
