A water tank decreases by 10 gallons every 3 hours every day. What is the total change in thi amount of water in the tank after 6 days?
The total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days can be calculated by finding the change in the amount of water in the tank each day and then multiplying it by the number of days.
The change in the amount of water in the tank each day is -10 gallons every 3 hours, which means it decreases by 10 gallons every 3/24 = 1/8 of a day.
So the total change in the amount of water in the tank each day is -10 gallons / (1/8 of a day) = -80 gallons.
Therefore, the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days is -80 gallons/day * 6 days = -480 gallons.
To find the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days, we need to determine the change per day and then multiply it by the number of days.
First, let's calculate the change per day:
10 gallons decrease every 3 hours.
Since there are 24 hours in a day, we can find the number of 3-hour intervals in a day:
24 hours / 3 hours = 8 intervals per day
So, for each day, the water tank decreases by 10 gallons in 8 intervals.
To find the change per day, we divide the decrease by the number of intervals:
10 gallons / 8 intervals = 1.25 gallons decrease per interval
Next, let's calculate the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days. Since the change per day is the same, we can simply multiply it by the number of days:
1.25 gallons decrease per interval * 8 intervals per day * 6 days = 60 gallons decrease in total
Therefore, after 6 days, the water tank will have decreased by a total of 60 gallons.
To find the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days, we need to calculate the change in the amount of water every day and then multiply it by the number of days.
Given that the water tank decreases by 10 gallons every 3 hours, we can convert this to the amount of water decrease per day by using the fact that there are 24 hours in a day:
10 gallons decrease / 3 hours = 3.33 gallons decrease per hour
3.33 gallons/hour * 24 hours/day = 80 gallons decrease per day
Therefore, the water tank decreases by 80 gallons every day.
To find the total change over 6 days, we multiply the decrease per day by the number of days:
80 gallons decrease/day * 6 days = 480 gallons decrease over 6 days
So, the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days is a decrease of 480 gallons.
