Answer:

To drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 72,000 water tower is being drained, and in an hour 2000 gallons are drained.

Now, to calculate the hours it would take to drain total 72,000 gallons of water, we should divide the gallons of water drained in one hour by total gallons of water in the tower.

Gallons of total water in the tower ÷ Gallons of water drained per hour

72000\div 2000

=\ 36

Therefore, to drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.

How can you express a clear and coherent argument visually or in writing?
Vikki [24]
Let's say you have an idea that you want to present in writing. For an argument to be valid, it must have supporting evidence. An argument would just be useless if it did not have any documents or laws that would be supporting its justification. To say for example, I wanted to argue that the law of conservation of energy is not true. If I don't show actual evidence of energy being created, then that would leave me with an unclear, and most possibly invalid argument.
