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 10 loads of dishes?

Answer 1

10 loads = 80 gallons of water

Explanation:

First, we will be multiplying 4 by 2 so we can get 8loads=64 gallons now we have to find the 2 so divide 32 by 2 which is 16 then finally add them together which will bring 80

Answer 2

It would be 80 gallons of water that the dishwasher will use to wash 10 loads of dishes. To figure this out you would need to divide 32 by 4 which would equal 8. You would do this to figure out how many gallons of water a dishwasher needs to wash 1 load of dishes. Then you would multiply 8 times 10 which would equal 80. Hope this helps you!
