Question

a tank can provide water for 50 families for 5 days. how many days longer can the same tank provide water for 20 families?

Answer 1

Depends if the family lives

Answer 2

lol sorry!

Answer 3

50 families *5 days = 20 families * x days

Answer 4

x=50*5/20=25/2

Answer 5

If a tank of water can provide 50 families with water for 5 days then that same tank could provide 20 families with 8 days of water. Think of this question as a ratio. 50:5 (50 families to 5 days) Since this ratio simplifies to 10:1 that says that for every 10 families taken away you gain an additional day that the said tank of water lasts. 50 Families use a tank of water that lasts 5 days40 Families use a tank of water that lasts 6 days30 Families use a tank of water that lasts 7 days20 Families use a tank of water that lasts 8 days.
