If water flows 12 feet in 9 seconds through the turbine, how far will the water flow in 54 seconds? If the water continues to flow at this rate, how long will it take the water to travel 54 feet?

40.5 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The flow rate is (12 ft) / (9 sec), or 4/3 ft/ sec.

In 54 sec, the water will have moved

(4/3 ft/sec)(54 sec) = 72 ft.

If the flow rate is 4/3 ft/sec and the distance covered is 54 ft, we divide

54 ft by (4/3 ft/sec) to determine how long it takes the water to flow 54 ft:

   54 ft

= 40.5 sec

(4/3 ft/sec)

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
