Question

A bucket holds 756 ounces (oz.) of water when full. The bucket loses 0.7 oz. Of water every second. In how many seconds will the bucket be 60% full?

Answer 1

Answer:

648 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to see how much 60% of 756 is, so we multiply 756 × 0.60 and we get 453.6, so we now just need to see in how many seconds (0.7) we will get 453.6 oz, so we simply divide 453.6 ÷ 0.7 = 648. This is your answer. We can check this by multiplying 648 × 0.7 and getting 453.6
