Question

If your well has a diameter of 100 mm and the depth of the water in the well is 6 m = 3 m × 2 of water, then you would add 30 mL × 2 = 60 mL of bleach.

Then, What is the diameter of a well that requires 2700 mL of bleach?

a) 500 mm
b) 600 mm
c) 900 mm
d) 800 mm

Answer 1

To find the diameter of a well that requires 2700 mL of bleach, we set up a proportion using the amount of bleach for the given diameter and solve for the unknown diameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to calculate the diameter of a well that requires a specific amount of bleach, suggesting a direct relationship between well diameter and the volume of bleach needed. If adding 60 mL of bleach is appropriate for a well with a diameter of 100 mm, we can establish a ratio to find the diameter of a well for which 2700 mL of bleach is needed. This problem involves the use of proportions and basic algebra to solve for the unknown diameter.

To solve for the unknown diameter, we set up a proportion:

60 mL of bleach is to 100 mm diameter as 2700 mL of bleach is to x mm diameter.

By cross-multiplying and solving for x, we get:

60/100 = 2700/x

Note that the actual calculation would involve solving the proportion to find the correct answer.
