Question

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?

Answer 1

590.76 hours

Explanation:

A water tank holds 24,000 gallons

Two-Third of water quantity =
`(2)/(3) * 24000`

=
`16000`

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=
`(24)/(650)`

16000 gallon of Water used in hours=
`(24)/(650) * 16000=590.76`

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