Answer:
quarts
12 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount of water leaked in 4 days = 3 quarts
To find:
Number of quarts leaked in 1 week?
Number of days taken for the leakage of 9 quarts of water?
Solution:
We can simply use unitary method or the ratio to find the answers of the questions asked in the statement.
As per question statement:
Amount of water leaked in 4 days = 3 quarts
Dividing by 4 on both sides:
Amount of water leaked in 1 day = 
quarts
Multiplying by 7 on both sides:
Amount of water leaked in 7 days = 
quarts
Number of days taken for the leakage of 3 quarts = 4 days
Multiplying by 3 on both sides:
Number of days taken for the leakage of 3 
3 = 9 quarts = 4 3 = <em>12 days</em>
Answer:
X <= 4
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x - 24<= -36
Make -3x the subject, by carrying -24 to the other side
Note: Moving -24 to the other side changes to + 24
-3x <= -36 + 24
-3x <= - 12
Minus cancels minus
3x <= 12
Divide both sides by 3,to get the value of x
3x/3 <= 12/3
x <= 12/3
x <= 4
Therefore, x equals to 4
Answer:
2.4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total work = X
Rate of work done = X ÷ time
Rate of A = X/4
Rate of B = X/6
If they work together, rate is the sum of their individual rates, i.e.
X/4 + X/6
= (3X + 2X)/12 (taking LCM)
=5X/12
Rate = X/time
5X/12 = X/time
time = X÷(5X/12)
time = X × 12/(5X)
time = 2.4 hours
Shortcut:
Product of individual times/sum of individual times
= (4×6)/(4+6)
=24/10
=2.4 hours
