7 Water goes over a waterfall at a rate of 1 162\frac{1}{2} gallons every 15 minutes. Which would not be a proportion you could use to solve for the gallons of water going over the waterfall in 2\frac{2}{3} hours? Select all that apply. 1 162\frac{1}{2} a. \frac{ }{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{g}{2\frac{2}{3}} 1 162\frac{1}{2} b. \frac{ }{2\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{g}{\frac{1}{4}} 1 c. \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{162\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{2\frac{2}{3}}{g} d. \frac{g}{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{162\frac{1}{2}}{2\frac{2}{3}} 1 162\frac{1}{2} e. \frac{ }{g} = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{2\frac{2}{3}} 2\frac{2}{3} f. \frac{ }{162\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{g}

Although the actual amount varies by season and time of day, the average volume of water that flows over the falls each second is 3.1x10^5 gallons. How much water flows over the falls in an hour? Write the result in scientific notation. (Hint: 1 hour equals 3600 seconds)______ gallons of water flows over the falls in an hour. (Use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed.)

The amount of water used to take a shower is directly proportional to the amount of time the shower is in use. A shower lasting 22 minutes requires 11 gallons of water. Find the amount of water used in a shower lasting 10 minutes.
