Question

The amount of water an electric dishwasher uses to wash dishes varies directly with the number of loads of dishes. The dishwasher uses 32 gallons of water to wash 4 loads of dishes.

How many gallons of water will the dishwasher use to wash 12 loads of dishes?

Answer 1

96 gallons

Explanation:

So to wash 4 loads of dishes, you need 32 gallons. If you divide 32 by 4 you get 8. That means you need 8 gallons of water per load. Since there are 12 loads and you need 8 gallons per load, if you multiply 8 X 12 you get 96. This means you need 96 gallons of water for 12 loads of dishes. Hope it helps!

Answer 2

I believe it 96.

Explanation:

32÷4=8

4×8=32

12×8=96
