Question

a water pail in your backyard has a small hole in it you notice that it has a Drained a total of 3.5 L in 4 days what is the average change in water volume each day

Answer 1

For this case we have the following data:

Drained 3.5 Liters in 4 days. If we want to know the volume of water per day, we make a rule of three:

3.5 Liters -----> 4days

x Liters --------> 1 day

Where x represents the amount of water drained each day.

So, we have to:

$x =\frac{(1 * 3.5)}{4}$

$x = 0.875$ Liters  per day

So, the average change in water volume each day is:$x = 0.875$ Liters  per day

Answer:

$x = 0.875$Liters per day
