Question

A corn silo contains 8,250 cubic feet of corn before it is

loaded into a storage container. The corn is loaded from
the silo into the container at the rate of 18 cubic feet per
hour.
w equation can be used to find the volume, V, of the
corn in the silo chours after loading begins?
​

Answer 1

V=8250-18*c

Explanation:

The equation will be:

`V=8250-18*c`

Where:

• V is the volume of corn in the silo after loading begins.

• 8250 is the initial volumen on the silo before the loading begins.

• 18 is the 18 cubic feet per hour given as rate of loading.

• c is the number of hour elapsed after loading begins.

To find the volume, V, of the corn in the silo c hours after loading begins, we substract from the initial volume the quantity of corn loaded and this is 18*c, that is the number of hour elapsed multiplyed by the rate of loading.
