Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3⁄4 gallons of water come out of a hose in 15 minutes, to calculate the rate of water that comes out in an hour (60 minutes), we will use the expression;
3/4 gallons = 15 minutes
x gallons = 60minutes
cross multiply
15x = 3/4 * 60
15x = 180/4
15x = 45
x = 45/15
x = 3/1
x = 3:1
Hence the water rate in gallons per hour is 3 gallons per hour
The first step in solving this problem is taking 2 and 3 and multiplying them (2 * 3 = 6) .
Now, for the second step, we will cube it. Since there are 2 numbers, we are going to use the 2nd root (2sqrt(6)) This will give us: 4.89897948557 or 5 if you would round it. This would be the Geometric Mean.
