Question

Think About the Process The holding pond at a local factory is looking A reporter hears that the pond als 115.5 galones al contaminated water every 33 days. The reporter wants to make a table showing how much in 1Day, I week 2 weeks and 1 month of 30 days. Then make the table1 Day1 Week2 Weeks1 Month

Answer 1

We have the following:

We have the total value of gallons in a given amount of time, so the quotient of the would be number of gallons per day:

$\frac{115.5g}{33d}=3.5\frac{g}{d}$

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} 1\text{day}=3.5 \\ 1\text{week}=7\text{days}\cdot3.5\frac{g}{d}=24.5g \\ 2\text{week}=14\text{days}\cdot3.5\frac{g}{d}=49g \\ 1\text{month}=30\text{days}\cdot3.5\frac{g}{d}=105g \end{gathered}$

The table would stay:

Time Gallons

1 day 3.5

1 week 24.5

2 week 49

1 month 105
