Can someone help me with this question please..

  7200 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The kitchen dimension on the drawing of 14 cm corresponds to an actual kitchen dimension of 40·14 = 560 cm.

The kitchen dimension on the drawing of 22 cm corresponds to an actual kitchen dimension of 40·22 = 880 cm.

The actual kitchen area is ...

  Area = length · width = (880 cm)(560 cm) = 492,800 cm^2.

__

The difference between this area and the bedroom area is ...

  500,000 cm^2 -492,800 cm^2 = 7200 cm^2

The kitchen is 7200 cm^2 smaller than the bedroom.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
