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


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

Remark
The point of this question is to encourage you to make use of your calculator. Every calculator can find square roots as far as I know.
Givens
= 8.367
= 8.49
= 8.77
One
Point A is roughly 8.15. The square root of 70 is over 8.3 So square root 70 is to the right of point A. False.
Two
Square root 72 is 8.49. B is 8.3 and C is 8.6. The statement is True
Three
sqrt(77) = 8.77. Point D is 8.75. The answer is true, but I wouldn't want to bet money on it. The difference is slightly less than 2 100s.
The answer to your problem is 2.5.
To answer, change the 6 into a fraction
6 x 6/6 = 36/6
36/6 + 4/6 = 40/6
Simplify
40/6 = 6 4/6, or 6 2/3 (simplified)
hope this helps
