Question 1207357: in a certain community with a population of 45000 it is estimated that each person needa 12 liter of water each day the community has a centralized reservoir which is cylindrical with a radius of 7m and height 20m if the reservoir is half fulled how long to yhe nearest day will the water last

in a certain community with a population of 45000 it is estimated that each person needa
12 liter of water each day the community has a centralized reservoir which is cylindrical
with a radius of 7m and height 20m if the reservoir is half fulled how long to yhe nearest day
will the water last
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The volume of the cylindrical reservoir is

    V = pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah = %2822%2F7%29%2A7%5E2%2A20 = 3080 m^3,  or  3,080,000 liters.


The volume of the water is half the volume of the cylindrical reservoir,
i.e.  3080000/2 = 1540000  liters.


The number of days is  1540000%2F%2845000%2A12%29 = 1540%2F%2845%2A12%29 = 2.85.


The nearest integer number of days is 3, but the amount of the water is not enough for 3 full days
at the given normative of 12 liters per person per day.
