Answer:
9.6 gallons of water is sprayed in 24 seconds.
Solution:
Given that,
The amount of water sprayed per second by the garden hose = 0.4
To find: The amount of water sprayed in 24 seconds.
Assume that the amount of water sprayed in 24 seconds as x.
In order to find the quantity of water sprayed in a specified time, we have to multiply the amount of water sprayed in a second with the given time.
Therefore,
[tex]x = amount of water sprayed per second \times given time[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.4 \times 24[/tex]
[tex]x=9.6 gallons[/tex]
i.e. approximately, [tex]9.6\times 3.79 = 36.384 l[/tex]
