Question

The capacity of a water tank in a housing Colony is 64 kilolitres. Ts is sufficient for 80 families in the colony for 3 days. What is the Average quantity of water used per day per household? .

Answer 1

capicity of water tank =640000 liters
total no of family =80 family
water used by per family in 3 days=640000/80
=8000 liters
water used by per family in 1 days =8000/3
=2666.66 lit

Answer 2

Answer: 2667 liters of water used per day per household.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Capacity of a water tank = 60 kiloliters.

As we know that

1 kiloliter = 1000 liters

64 kiloliters = 64 × 1000 = 64000 liters

Number of families for which it is sufficient = 80

Number of days for which it is sufficient = 3 days

So, Quantity of water for 1 family is given by

$\dfrac{64000}{80}\\\\=8000$

Average quantity of water used per day per household is given by

$\dfrac{8000}{3}\\\\=2667\ liters$

Hence, 2667 liters of water used per day per household.
