Question

Vivian's cell phone plan limits her to 6GB of data every month. If she uses 3/4 of her data with 10 days remaining, at what rate can she use data for the remaining 10 days

Answer 1

0.15 GB per day.

Explanation:

Given:

Vivian's cell phone plan limits her to 6 GB of data every month.

She uses 3/4 of her data with 10 days remaining.

Question asked:

At what rate can she use data for the remaining 10 days ?

Solution:

Total data available for a month = 6 GB

Vivian's already used data =
`(3)/(4) \ of\ 6\ GB`

`=(3)/(4) *6=(18)/(4) =(9)/(2) \ =4.5\ GB`

Remaining data available = 6 - 4.5 =1.5 GB

Number of days remaining = 10

To find rate of data can be used for 10 days, we will divide remaining data by remaining days:

Rate = 1.5 GB
`/` 10

= 0.15 GB

Thus, Vivian's can use 0.15 GB per day till 10 days.
