Answer: 16,000 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
1/16 of the pool is 2000l
8/16 full is 1/2 of the pool full
1/16 = 2000
8/16 = x
Cross multiply
1/16x = 2000 × 8/16
1/16x = 1000
Multiply both sides by 16
x = 16000
To make the pool half full, 16,000 litres is required.
Answer:
7×7+7
49+7
=56
order of operations multiply first then add
(a) With a unit rate of 8, repeated (iterated) 72 times, we can simply multiply 8 by 72 to get the net change: 8 × 72 = 576 fish.
(b) For the unit rate (i.e. rate of change per time - minutes in this case) we can simply divide the total water pumped out by the total time it took to perform this. So: 48 ÷ 8 = 6 gallons/min.
