Question 852927: When 1mm of rain falls on 1 of the surface of a pond, 1 litre of water is collected.
What surface area of the pond is needed to collect 10 000 litres from a rainfall of 20mm? (Where 'mm' is millimetres and 'm' is metres.)
Can you please tell me the right answer and a solution, preferably one including algebra? Answer by josgarithmetic(39620) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The initial information also means that 2 mm of collected rainwater over 1 would be 2 liters of rainwater. This also means 20 mm of collected rainwater over 1 would be 20 liters of rainwater.
