Algebra.Com's Answer #626580 by josgarithmetic(39799) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rate for the filling is wanted as quantity of water per 1 minute. \n" ); document.write( "Quantity is not known other than as a count of \"water bottle\". Therefore, the unit of \"bottle\" is our only possible water quantity unit.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is flow rate? \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "This is a rate, wording smashed together, but should explain what the flow rate means.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your example problem gives some data about the rate at which William fills his bottle. \n" ); document.write( "How much water? \n" ); document.write( "How much time? \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This needs to be simplified, and if possible (yes, should be possible) form into how many bottles in ONE minute, meaning you will want a final answer showing a 1 in the denominator.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For 7th grade purposes, dividing by a fraction means the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This really says, or indicates \"three bottles in five minutes\". Maybe that is good enough for what he needs as his answer. OR this common simple fraction is also |
