The dishwasher uses 32 gallons of water to wash 4 loads of dishes. How many gallons of water will the dishwasher use to wash 12 loads of dishes?

The dishwasher will use 80 gallons of water to wash 10 loads of dishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Water used for 4 loads of dishes = 32 gallons

Ratio of water used to load of dishes = 32:4

Let,

x represents the gallons of water required for 10 loads of dishes.

Ratio of water used to load of dishes = x:10

Using proportion

Ratio of water used to load of dishes :: Ratio of water used to load of dishes

Product of mean = Product of extreme

Dividing both sides by 4

The dishwasher will use 80 gallons of water to wash 10 loads of dishes.

It would be 80 gallons of water that the dishwasher will use to wash 10 loads of dishes. To figure this out you would need to divide 32 by 4 which would equal 8. You would do this to figure out how many gallons of water a dishwasher needs to wash 1 load of dishes. Then you would multiply 8 times 10 which would equal 80.
