A running tap dispenses 0.15 gallons of water every second. How many pints of water is dispensed after 20 seconds?
Please show me how to get the answer.
0.15 x 20 = ____
____x 8 = 24
(0.15*20 = 3) 3*8=24
To find out how many pints of water are dispensed after 20 seconds, we need to calculate the volume of water that comes out of the tap in that time period.
We know that the tap dispenses 0.15 gallons of water every second.
Step 1: Calculate the volume of water dispensed in one second.
Since there are 8 pints in 1 gallon, we can convert 0.15 gallons to pints by multiplying it by 8:
0.15 gallons * 8 pints/gallon = 1.2 pints.
Step 2: Calculate the volume of water dispensed in 20 seconds.
Now that we know the volume of water dispensed in one second, we can multiply it by the number of seconds to get the total volume dispensed in 20 seconds:
1.2 pints/second * 20 seconds = 24 pints.
Therefore, after 20 seconds, the running tap will dispense 24 pints of water.
0.15*20=10*8=80
10
If you got 0.14 how many pints of water is dispensed after 50 seconds
1 gallon = 8 pints
0.15 * 20 * 8 = _______ pints
