Answer 1

Explanation:

A typical family of four uses 400 gallons of water each day and 30% of this water is for outdoor activities such as gardening. To determine the number of gallons of water that a typical family of four use each day for outdoor activities,

We will divide 30% by 100% and multiply by the total amount used each day. It becomes

30/100 × 400 = 0.3× 400 = 120

The family uses 120 gallons of water each day for outdoor activities
