Question

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 710 pints per day. Express this rate of flow in cubic feet per month. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

356 ft³ per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Water flows at a rate of 710 pints per day.

We shall convert 710 pints to cubic feet (ft³).

This can be obtained as follow:

1 pint = 0.0167 ft³

Therefore,

710 pints = 710 × 0.0167 = 11.857 ft³

From the calculations made above, 710 pints is equivalent to 11.857 ft³.

Thus, we can say that water flows at a rate of 11.857 ft³ per day.

Finally, we shall determine the rate of flow of water in cubic feet per month.

Note: there are 30 days in a month.

Water flow at a rate of 11.857 ft³ per day.

Therefore, the rate of flow of water in 30 days will be = 30 × 11.857 ft³ = 356 ft³

Thus, the flow rate of water is 356 ft³ per month.
