The Lewis family and the Perry family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's sprinkler was 15 L per hour. The water output rate for the Perry family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 65 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1850 L . How long was each sprinkler used
Answer:
Hours of use of sprinkler by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use of sprinkler by Perry family is 35 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W = hours of use by Lewis family
65 - W = hours of use by Perry family
Then;
15W + 40*(65 - W) = 1850
15W + 2600 - 40W = 1850
(15 - 40)W = 1850 - 2600
-25W = −750
W = 750/25 = 30
Therefore;
W = 30
65 - W = 65 - 30 = 35
Hence,
Hours of use by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use by Perry family is 35 hours.
Do a proportion
8/100= x/70
Cross multiply and divide
70 x 8= 560
560 divided by 100= 5.6
Answer is 5.6
You also could have done .08 x 70 which is also 5.6
