A plant manager is ordering supplies for a week. He needs 36 m3 of fluid to run two shifts. Each tank holds 36 m3 of fluid. If he plans to run 9 shifts, how many tanks will he need?

Respuesta :

Does this question have the following choices?
A) 9 tanks 
B) 4 tanks 
C) 36 tanks 
D) 4.5 tanks

If so, then the answer would be letter D. 

 one tank has 36 m3 of fluid, which covers 2 shifts. 

 Divide the number of shifts needed  by the number shifts each tank fills 

9 shifts needed ÷ 2 shifts each tank fills

= 4.5


4.5 Tanks, assuming you got it from USATESTPREP since that's what i got
