Question 1037275: Tatiana is watering her vegetable garden using her rain barrel. Currently, the barrel contains 0.318 m3 of water.
a. If 0.318 m3 fills the barrel to 60% capacity, what is the capacity of the barrel in m3?
b. To water her plants, Tatiana uses a cylindrical watering can. If each row requires 3 cans of water and she has 15 rows, how many cans of water will Tatiana use?
c.Find the total volume of water she will need to water the garden if the volume of one can is 15 L.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
60% = 0.318 m^3
1% = 0.318/60
100% = 0.318/60 x 100
100% = 0.53 m^3
...........
15 rows at 3 cans per row = 45 cans.
...........
If each can contains 15L
The total volume of water
required = 15 x 45 = 675L
675L = 0.675 m^3
...........
Tatiana cannot water all her rows
as she needs 0.675 m^3
and she only has 0.53 m^3 in the barrel.
Hope this helps :-)
