Answer:
0.01 rate per day
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the water flow through a pipe occrs a a rate of 9quarts every 3.5 years, he rate of flow in cups per year will be expresssed as;
9quartz = 3.5years
x quartz = 1 year
cross multiply
9quarts * 1 = 3.5 years * x
9 = 3.5x
x = 9/3.5
x = 2.57142 years
Hence the rate flow of cup per year will be 2.57 years. But since the question asked us to look for the rate of flow per day, we will divivde 2.57 by 365days.
The rate of flow in cups per day = 2.57/365 = 0.00704rate per day
≈ 0.01 rate per day to the nearest hundredth
