A water tank holds 24,000 gallons.How many hours will it take for 2/3 of the water to be used if the water is used at an average rate of 650 gallons per day?

Sagot :

Answer:

590.76 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A water tank holds 24,000 gallons

Two-Third of water quantity = [tex]\frac{2}{3} \times 24000[/tex]

                                              = [tex]16000[/tex]  

Rate of using water is 650 gallons per day

650 gallons of Water used in day = 1

650 gallons of Water used in hours= 24

1 gallon of Water used in hours=  [tex]\frac{24}{650}[/tex]

16000 gallon of Water used in hours=  [tex]\frac{24}{650} \times 16000=590.76[/tex]

Hence It will take 590.76 hours for 2/3 of the water to be used
