Question

A garden hose emits 9 quarts of water in 6 seconds at this rate How long will it take the hose to emit 12 quarts how much water does the hose emit in 10 second

Answer 1

Explanation:

The garden hose emits 9 quarts of water in 6 seconds. It means that the number of seconds that it takes the garden hose to emit 1 quart of water would be 6/9 = 2/3 seconds

Therefore, the number of seconds that it will take the garden hose to emit 12 quarts of water would be

12 × 2/3 = 8 seconds.

Again, the number of quarts that the garden hose will emit in one second is 9/6 = 3/2 quarts.

Therefore, the number of quarts of water that the hose emits in 10 seconds would be

10 × 3/2 = 15 quarts.

Answer 2

8 seconds

15 quarts

Explanation:

Givens

6 seconds emits 9 quarts of water.

x seconds emits 12 quarts of water.

Formula

6/x = 9/12

Solution

Cross multiply

9x = 12*6 Simplify the right

9x = 72 Divide by 9

9x/9 = 72/9

x = 8 seconds Answer.

In 8 seconds, the hose will emit 12 quarts

=========================

Givens

9 quarts of water are emitted in 6 second

x quarts of water are emitted in 10 seconds

Formula

9/x = 6/10 Cross multiply

Solution

9*10 = 6x Combine the left

90 = 6x Divide by 6

90/6=6x/6

15 = x

In 10 seconds the hose emits 15 quarts.
