Question

My filter cleans 125 gallons every hour. How many times does my 20 gallon tank get cleaned every hour

Answer 1

6.25 times (6.25 times mean the filter cleans the 20 gallon capacity tank 6 times for fully, and the
`7^(th)` time the filter cleans only 5 gallons) of 20 gallon tank get cleaned, if the filter cleans 125 gallons for every hour.

Explanation:

The given is,

Filter cleans 125 gallons every hour

How many times 20 gallon tank get cleaned every hour

Step:1

Formula for number times 20 gallon tank get cleaned is,

`No.of times, n= (Filter clean capacity per hour)/(Capacity of tank)`...........(1)

From the given values,

Filter clean capacity per hour = 125 gallons per hour

Capacity of tank = 20 gallons

Equation (1) becomes,

`n = (125)/(20)`

`= 6.25`

n = 6.25 times

Number times 20 gallon tank get cleaned, n = 6.25 times

Where, 6.25 times mean the filter cleans the 20 gallon capacity tank 6 times for fully, and the
`7^(th)` time the filter cleans only 5 gallons.

Result:

6.25 times of 20 gallon tank get cleaned, if the filter cleans 125 gallons for every hour.
