Question

The pool filter operates for 2 hours each day in summer.
The electricity required to run the filter costs 3.5¢ per hour.
How much will it cost to operate the filter?
i) For 1 day?
ii) For 1 week?
iii)
During December?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Since it is for 1 day, and they only use it for 2 hours in a day,

3.5 * 2 = 7

So $7 dollars for one day

ii) Since it is for 1 week, and 2 hours each day, which means 7 days, that would be 7 * 2, which equals 14:

14 * 3.5 = 49

So $49 dollars for one week

iii) Since it is for December, and there are 31 days in December, that would be 31 * 2, which equals 62:

62 * 3.5 = 217

So, $217 dollars for all of December
