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?

1 answer

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.
