Question

During a period of time a reservoir is drained for 2 hours per day 3 times per week. Each time 12 gallons per minute are drained. What integer represents the change in the number of gallons drained from the reservoir each week?

Answer 1

Answer:

The integer representing the change is -43,200 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the integer that represents the change in the number of gallons drained from the reservoir each week

Total number of hours per week would be 2 * 3 = 6 hours ;

6 hours is same as 6 * 60 = 3600 minutes

in a minute 12 gallons are drained

In 3600 minutes, the number of gallons drained would be;

3600 * 12 = 43,200 gallons are drained
