An ice machine uses 3 gallons of water every 9 hours. How many gallons of water does it use each hour? How many hours does it take to use one gallon?

Respuesta :

3 gallons = 9 hours
3/9 gallons = 1 hour

3 gallons = 9 hours
1 gallon = 9/3 hours

Therefore, It will use 1/3 gallons of water each hour and will use 1 gallon in 3 hours

Answer:

First find out the how many gallons of water does it use each hour .

To prove

As given

An ice machine uses 3 gallons of water every 9 hours.

3 gallons of water = 9 hours

[tex]Water\ uses\ by\ ice\ machine\ in\ one\ hours = \frac{3}{9}[/tex]

Water uses by ice machine in one hours = 0.33 gallons (Approx)

Now find out  how many hours does it take to use one gallon .

As given

An ice machine uses 3 gallons of water every 9 hours.

3 gallons of water = 9 hours

[tex]Hours\ take\ by\ ice\ machine\ to\ use\ one\ gallons\ of\ water = \frac{9}{3}[/tex]

Hours take by ice machine to use one gallons of water = 3 hours.
