Please don't give me an answerI just want to know how to work it out!An empty silo is to be filled at a constant rate of 2500 kilograms per hour. How many more hours will it take to fill the silo?**It will take 20 000 kg to fill.
use simple fundamentals of operation.... let x be the number of hours. (20 000 kg) / (2500 kilogram / hour) = x x = 8 hours. it takes 8 hours to fill the silo with 20 000 kg.
2500 kilograms are filled in 1 hour. 1 kilogram is filled in 1/2500 hours. Therefore, 20000 kilograms are filled in 1/2500*20000 hours. =20000/2500 hours. =8 hours. ANSWER-The empty silo will be filled in 8 hours.
aws. Simply divide 20 000 kg. by 2 500 kg. per hour to get the number of hours to fill it. . .
constant rate 2500kgh= 20000kg h= 20000kg/ 2500kg h=8 EASY?
Divide the size of the silo by the rate of filling. Look at the units. You want time. That means that the hour in kg/hour needs to be on top, which in turn means that the kg/hour needs to be on the bottom of a fraction. The larger the silo is, the longer it will take to fill; that needs to be on top. The faster the rate, the less time it will need to fill; the rate needs to be on the bottom. 20 000 kg / (2500 kg/hour) = ? hours
