It wants me to use division, but sadly I am not getting the answers I want with it. Please help!

a. 70 gallons of water were leaked each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = gallons leaked each month

210/3 = x/1

Cross multiply:

210 × 1 = 3 × x

210 = 3x

Divide by 3 to isolate the variable:

70 = x

The division part is only 210 ÷ 3 = x. I wrote it down this way so you can see how I came to this equation.

Check your work:

210/3 = 70/1

210 × 1 = 3 × 70

210 = 210

Correct!

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.
