Question

A scientist collected 7 water samples from local streams. Each sample was the same size, and he collected 8.8 liters of water in all. To the nearest thousandth of a liter, what was the volume of each water sample?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume collected from each stream is 1.257 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the scientist collect x amount of sample from each stream.

Therefore, the total amount of sample collected from the 7 streams=7x

According, to the given condition the total water collected is 8.8 liters

$7x=8.8$

$x=\frac{8.8}{7}$

x=1.257 L
