Question

A leaking pond loses 12 gallon of water in 23 hours How many gallons of water will it lose in 31 hours

Answer 1

The volume of water the pond will lose in 31 hours is 17.71 gallons.

Explanation:

Given;

Rate of water leakage, R = 12 gallon of water in 23 hours

`R = (12 \ gallons)/(23 \ hours)`

In 31 hours the volume of water leaked is calculated as;

`V = (12 \ gallons)/(21 \ hours) * 31 \ hours\\\\V = 17.71 \ gallons`

Therefore, the volume of water the pond will lose in 31 hours is 17.71 gallons.
