A scientist collected 48 water samples from local streams. Each sample was the same size, and she collected 476.2 liters of water in all. To the nearest hundredth of a liter, what was the volume of each water sample?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Volume of each water sample is 9.92 cubic liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of water samples collected by a scientist = 48

Total volume of water collected = 476.2 liters

Therefore,

Volume of each water sample = (Total volume of water collected) ÷ (Number of water samples collected by a scientist)

= [tex]476.2[/tex] ÷ 48

= 9.92 cubic liters

So, volume of each water sample is 9.92 cubic liters.
