PLS HELP GIVING BRAINLIEST Turner Middle School has 525 boys, 625 girls, 58 teachers, and a supporting staff of 12 employees. The school uses an average of 1,267,760 gallons of water per month. Assuming that the water usage is proportional to the number of people in the school, about how much water do the students consume per week? a. 17,940 gal c. 316,940 gal b. 299,000 gal d. 1,196,000 gal

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 1,196,000 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students = 525+625=1 150

The number of people = 525+625+58+12=1 220

let x represent the amounot of water consumed by students

1220———————>1 267 760

1150———————> x

then

x = (1 150×1 267 760)÷1 220 = 1 195 019.67213115
