2560-1944= 616gallons
7 days in a week or 14 days in two weeks
616gallons / 14days = 44 gallons / 1 day
Notice in the fraction we have
(Gallons / days)
Now if you filled the take up the entire way
2560 gallons
We have gallons and the question wants the amount of days
Thus to cancel gallons we set the equation up as such
(2560 gallons) x (1 day / 44 gallons) = 58.18 days
Or 58 days

The full tanks of water will last for 58 days

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

The full tank of water = 2560 gallons

After 2 weeks ⇒ water left 1944 gallons

Elephant drink the same amount of water each day

<u>Question:</u>

How many days will a full tank of water last?

First step, we are going to find the amount of water drink by elephant each day:

= <u>Full tank of water - water after two week</u>

                        14 days

\boxed {\frac{2560-1944}{14} = \frac{616}{14} = 44 }

So each day the elephant drinks 44 gallons of water

Full tank of water = 2560 gallons, so it would be last for:

\boxed {\frac{2560}{44}= 58.18 } days or rounding to 58 days

Full tank of water will last for 58 days.

Something two dimensional is flat and wide but has no height. An example of this is a square.

Something three dimensional is wide and tall, and has flat faces. An example is a cube.

To answer your question something one dimensional is something that is not flat, wide, or tall, such as a line.

One fourth of a box of cereal was shared equally among 3 people. How much cereal did each person get?
just olya [345]
Okay so the problem starts you off with the fraction (1/4). Sharing equally among 3 people would mean that you'd want to divide it by three so your equation would initially look like (1/4) / 3. Having two dividing signs is confusing so what you do is change the dividing into multiplying by the reciprocal of 3 = 1/3... This would make your expression (1/4) * (1/3) and when you simplify this you should get 1/12 as the answer.
