An industrial dishwasher takes 4.8 litres of water to wash a full load of dishes. If you were to wash full loads, how much water would you use?
I am very confused on how to begin figuring this math problem out. Can you assist?
I think you left something out of your problem. How many full loads are you to wash?
Ms. Sue. This is all that was in the math problem. I read it three times. I don't even know where to begin with this one.
Of course! To solve this problem, we need to find out how much water would be used if you were to wash multiple full loads of dishes.
First, let's determine how many full loads of dishes you want to wash. Let's say you want to wash "n" full loads.
Next, we need to find out the total amount of water used for one full load. The problem states that an industrial dishwasher takes 4.8 litres of water to wash a full load of dishes.
Now, to find out the total amount of water used for "n" full loads, we can multiply the amount of water used for one full load (4.8 litres) by the number of full loads (n). This can be represented as:
Total amount of water used = 4.8 litres * n
So, if you wash "n" full loads of dishes in the dishwasher, you would use 4.8 litres multiplied by the number of full loads.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to approach and solve the problem! Let me know if you have any further questions.
