Answer:
12 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Total gallons of the family's drinking water needs = gallons consumed by children + gallons consumed by adults
3[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + 1[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] =
Converting to decimals
3.5 + 1.75 = 5.25 = 5[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
If there are 63 gallons, the water supply would last for :
63 / 5.25 =12 days
