Answer 1

135 divided by 60= 2.25
2.25 times 32= 72

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

that's an awful lot of water. (a Liter almost).

• 32 / 60 = x / 135           Multiply both sides by 135
• 32/60 * 135 = x             I'm assuming you have a calculator.
• 32 * 135 / 60 = x           Do the multiplication
• 4320 / 60 = x               Do the division
• 4320
• ÷
• 60
• =
• 72
