You can put this solution on YOUR website! The water usage in a city varies directly with the population of a city.
City A has a population of 325,000 people and uses an average of 28,925,000 gallons of water per day.
How many gallons of water per day should we expect City B to produce if its population is 4,890,000.
:
Direct variation ratio
:
let b = gal of water used by City B =
we can simplify this =
cross multiply
325b = 28925000*4890
325b = 1.414(10^11)
b =
b = 435,210,000 gal used by city B
