Question

A garden hose sprays water at 0.4 gallon per second. how much water does it spray in 24 seconds

Answer 1

Answer:

9.6 gallons of water is sprayed in 24 seconds.

Solution:

Given that,

The amount of water sprayed per second by the garden hose = 0.4

To find: The amount of water sprayed in 24 seconds.

Assume that the amount of water sprayed in 24 seconds as x.

In order to find the quantity of water sprayed in a specified time, we have to multiply the amount of water sprayed in a second with the given time.

Therefore,

$x = amount of water sprayed per second \times given time$

$x = 0.4 \times 24$

$x=9.6 gallons$

i.e. approximately, $9.6\times 3.79 = 36.384 l$

Answer 2

There’s 0.4 in a second then in 24 seconds then you would multiply 0.4x24= which is
9.6 gallons of water.
