a) 17.6 = 0.55 • g

b) 17.60/55 = g

d)0.55/g = 17.6

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

Answer 2

The incorrect choice for calculate the number of is option (d) .

i.e

`(0.55)/(g) = 17.6`

Reason

As given

You were billed $17.60 for water usage at a rate of $0.55 per gallon.

The number of gallons of water is represented by g.

Than the equation becomes

0.55 × g = 17.60

`g = (17.60)/(0.55)`

g = 32

Therefore 32gallons of water is used .

Thus Option (d) is incorrect between all the options.
