Question

A water tank holds 24000 gallons. How many hours will it take for 2/3 of the water to be used if the water is used at a constant rate of 650 gallons per day? Write an equation first to use to answer the problem.

Answer 1

24000/3=8000
8000= 1/3
8000*2=16000
16000= 2/3
16000/650= 24.6 days
24*24=576+6=582 hours

it would take 582 hours before 2/3 of the water is used.
