In a 2560 gallons there are 1944gallons left after two weeks how many days a whole tank will last

1 answer:

6 0

In this problem all the necessary informations are provided. Total capacity of the tank is given as 2560 gallons. It is also given that after 2 weeks or 14 days , only 1944 gallons of water is left. The number of days the whole tank will be empty is required to be found.
Let us assume that the number of days required to empty the tank = x
Then
Now amount of water consumed in 14 days = 2560 - 1944
= 616 gallons
So
616 gallons of water used in = 14 days
2560 gallons of water will be used in = (14/616) * 2560
= 58.18
Then the whole tank will last approximately 58 days if calculated to the nearest whole number.

Metal strips 11 feet long and 2 feet wide . of the stripping costs $6 per foot , find the total costs

adoni [48]

The area of the metal strips:
A = L * W , where L stays for length and W stays for wirth.
A = 11 ft * 2 ft ;
A = 22 ft^2.
If it costs $6 per foot:
Total cost = 22 * 6 = $132.
Answer: The total cost of a metal strip is $132.

Last year , there were 30 male members and 20 female members in a Chess Club . This year , the number of male members is decreas

LekaFEV [45]

The r% of a quantity x is computed by dividing x in 100 parts, and considering r of such parts. So, the r% of the male is

$30\times\cfrac{r}{100} = 0.3 r$

and similarly, the r% of female is

$20\times\cfrac{r}{100} = 0.2 r$

The number of males decreased by this quantity, so now it is

$30 - 0.3r$

and the number of female increased by this quantity, so now it is

$20+0.2r$

we know that these two new counts are the same number, so we can build and solve the equality

$30 - 0.3r = 20+0.2r$

Subtract 20 and add 0.3r from both sides:

$10 = 0.5r$

Divide both sides by 0.5 to solve for r:

$r = 20$

Let's check the answer

The 20% of 30 is $30 \times \frac{20}{100} = 6$ , while the 20% of 20 is 4. So, we are stating that $30-6 = 20+4$ which is true because both expressions evaluate to 24.
