Evaporation of waste water 2008-11-21
From Alexandra:
Engineers know that the amount of water lost due to evaporation is directly proportional to the surface area of the holding tanks and that the local climate causes water to evaporate at the rate of about gallon of water per hour for each square foot of water exposed to the air. About how many total gallons of waste water may enter the three tanks each day to maintain full capacity?
I know that the answer is 50x10^3 but i don't know why.
