Answer:
21.6 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
40 drops make up a volume of 10 mL
Therefore, the volume of 1 drop of water = 10mL/40 = 1/4 mL= 0.25mL
Since the tap loses 1 drop of water in 1 sec, it loses 0.25mL of water in 1 second
60 seconds make up 1 second so volume of water lost in 1 minute = 0.25 x 60 = 15 mL
60 minutes make up 1 hour so volume of water lost in 1 hour = 15 x 60 = 900 mL
24 hours make up a day so volume of water lost in 1 day = 900 x 24 = 21,600 mL
Since 1000 mL make up 1 liter, divide by 1000 to get volume in liters
Volume of water lost in 1 day = 21600/1000 = 21.6 liters
Can be done as one equation
V lost in one day = 0.25 x 3600 x 24 mL = 21600 mL = 21.6 L
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
