Question

Each hour, a pipe carries 2.6 gallons of water from the well to the water tank. How many gallons of water will the pipe transport in 16 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

41.6 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

it's given that the pipe transports 2.6 gallons of water per hour and we need to know the amount of gallons that the pipe transfers per 16 hours so the steps are:

$\frac{2.6}{1} = \frac{x}{16}$

$x = 2.6 \times 16$

$x = 41.6$

then the pipe transports 41.6 gallons of water in 16 hours
