I need help with this question, Containing 320 gallons of water is leaking half of its water every hour. How much is water left after 4 hours? Help!!!!

Respuesta :

Answer:

After 4 hours the container left with 20 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The container has 320 gallons of water initially.

It leaks half of its water every hour.

So, after 1 hour the container has [tex]\frac{320}{2}[/tex]= 160 gallons

After 2 hours the container has [tex]\frac{160}{2}[/tex] =80 gallons

After 3 hours the container has [tex]\frac{80}{2}[/tex]= 40 gallons

After 4 hours the container has [tex]\frac{40}{2}[/tex] =20 gallons.

So, after 4 hours the container left with 20 gallons of water.
