Question

A plumber used about 25 feet of 3 8 inch PVC tubing in the past two months How many feet of PVC tubing will the plumber need in the next 6 months? 75 feet

Answer 1

75 feet

Explanation:

If the plumber used 25 feet of pipe in 2 months, then he should need 25 feet multiplied by 6 months and divided by 2 months, the calculation can be deduced from the following reasoning:

If in 2 months he used 25 feet, how many feet will he use in 6 months?

That's

2 months ------------------ 25 feet

6 months ------------------ X

X = 25 feet x 6 months / 2 months

X = 75 feet

Answer 2

6 months / 2 months = 3

25 x 3 = 75

he will use 75 feet
