The new, larger coral reef tank will thrill visitors by providing a floor - to-ceiling view of sea creatures swimming through the reef. in the old version of the exhibit, 576,000 gallons of water circulated through the tank over 24 hours. If the volume of the new exhibit is 3 1/2 times larger than the old one, how many gallons per hour will be circulated?

Solution

Solution:

Initially 5,76,000 gallons of water circulated through the over 24 hours

if the volume of exhibit 3 ¹/₂ increases then rate of change circulation water would change

New volume = 5,76,000 x (3 ¹/₂₎ = 20,16,000 gallons

Now per hour circulation of water = 20,16,000/24 = 84,000 gallons per hour
