​

Answer 1

B. 45-t/t

Explanation:

An quarium, initially containing 60 gallons of water, is being drained for cleaning. After minutes the amount of water that has been drained from thevtank is 4/3t, and the amount remaining in the tank is 60 -4/3t. The ratio of the amount of wster remaining to the amount of water that has been drained as a rational function, and simplified is, 45-t/t.

Answer 2

b. (45 -t)/t

Explanation:

c = remaining/drained

c = (60 -4/3t)/(4/3t) . . . . fill in values from problem statement

c = (45 -t)/t
