Question

I need help with this question, Containing 320 gallons of water is leaking half of its water every hour. How much is water left after 4 hours? Help!!!!

Answer 1

After 4 hours the container left with 20 gallons of water.

Explanation:

The container has 320 gallons of water initially.

It leaks half of its water every hour.

So, after 1 hour the container has
`(320)/(2)`= 160 gallons

After 2 hours the container has
`(160)/(2)` =80 gallons

After 3 hours the container has
`(80)/(2)`= 40 gallons

After 4 hours the container has
`(40)/(2)` =20 gallons.

So, after 4 hours the container left with 20 gallons of water.
