Six houses on a street uses an average of 47 litres of water daily. In a week the house use up
329 litres of water.
A segment is 3unit long. It is divided into 9 part. What fraction of a unit are 2 part of the segment
To find the fraction of a unit that 2 parts of the segment represents, we divide the number of parts (2) by the total number of parts (9).
Fraction of a unit = 2/9
Therefore, 2 parts of the segment represents 2/9 of a unit.
To find out how much water the six houses on the street use up in a week, we need to multiply the average daily usage by the number of days in a week.
Step 1: Find the total water usage per day
The average daily water usage per house is 47 litres.
Step 2: Multiply the daily usage by the number of houses on the street
Since there are six houses, we need to multiply 47 litres by 6.
47 litres/house * 6 houses = 282 litres
Step 3: Multiply the total daily usage by the number of days in a week
There are 7 days in a week, so we need to multiply 282 litres by 7.
282 litres/day * 7 days = 1974 litres
Therefore, the six houses on the street use up a total of 1974 litres of water in a week.
