Answer:
quarts
12 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount of water leaked in 4 days = 3 quarts
To find:
Number of quarts leaked in 1 week?
Number of days taken for the leakage of 9 quarts of water?
Solution:
We can simply use unitary method or the ratio to find the answers of the questions asked in the statement.
As per question statement:
Amount of water leaked in 4 days = 3 quarts
Dividing by 4 on both sides:
Amount of water leaked in 1 day = quarts
Multiplying by 7 on both sides:
Amount of water leaked in 7 days = quarts
Number of days taken for the leakage of 3 quarts = 4 days
Multiplying by 3 on both sides:
Number of days taken for the leakage of 3 3 = 9 quarts = 4
3 = <em>12 days</em>
Answer:
The number of deserters is 34.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.
The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.
If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.
If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.
If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.
If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:
As only 1466 gives a possible result (no decimals), this is the amount of soldiers left.
The deserters are 34:
