Question

A water tank holds 24,000 gallons.How many hours will it take for 2/3 of the water to be used if the water is used at an average rate of 650 gallons per day?

Answer 1

Answer:

590.76 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A water tank holds 24,000 gallons

Two-Third of water quantity = $\frac{2}{3} \times 24000$

                                              = $16000$  

Rate of using water is 650 gallons per day

650 gallons of Water used in day = 1

650 gallons of Water used in hours= 24

1 gallon of Water used in hours=  $\frac{24}{650}$

16000 gallon of Water used in hours=  $\frac{24}{650} \times 16000=590.76$

Hence It will take 590.76 hours for 2/3 of the water to be used

Answer 2

24,000 / 3 = 8000 x 2 = 16,000

16,000 / 650 = 24.6 (25) Days
