Divide the total the lake holds by the number of days:
400 million / 25 days = 16 million gallons per day.
The maximum rate of drainage, in millions of gallons per day is 16 millions of gallons per day.
A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.
For the given situation,
Amount of water reservoir can hold = 400400400 million gallons of water ≈ [tex]400[/tex] million gallons
Estimated days will drainage take = 252525 days ≈ [tex]25[/tex] days
Then the maximum rate of drainage, in millions of gallons per day is
⇒ [tex]\frac{400 }{25}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]16[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the maximum rate of drainage, in millions of gallons per day is 16 millions of gallons per day.
