Answer:
Solution:
<u>We know that:</u>
- Capacity = 2,500 gallons
- Hose = 25 gallons/minute
Solution:
- 25 gallons = 1 minute
- => 25x gallons = x minutes = 2500 gallons
- => 25x = 2500
- => x = 100 minutes
Hence, it will take 100 minutes to fill the pool.
Answer:
260 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
An estimate of 26.5% of the water used each day is for cleaning and a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning,
Percentage of water used for cleaning= 26.5%
Gallons of water used for cleaning= 68.9
Let the number of gallons used everyday be represented by g. This will give:
26.5% of g = 68.9
26.5/100 × g = 68.9
0.265 × g = 68.9
0.265g = 68.9
Divide both side by 0.265
0.265g/0.265 = 68.9/0.265
g= 260
260 gallons of water are used everyday
OOHHH!! I like sci not! Okay, so you take the decimal ( which in this case is at the end: 68000. ) and move it over as many times as needed until it gets in between the, in this case, 6 and 8. ( 6.8000 ). You need to show exactly how many times it was actually moved so you multiply that number time 10^ whatever place. In this question, it'll be to the 4th place because you move the decimal over 4 times. The answer will be 6.80 x 10^4 OR -written in short hand- 6.8x10E4
