Question

A small leak is causing a swimming pool to lose 12 gal of water/h.

What is the change in the amount of water in 4 h?


A. −4 gal

B. −2 gal

C. 2 gal

D. 4 gal

Answer 1

None of your answers make sense.

After 1 hour, you lose 12 gallons

After 2 hours, 24

After 3 hours, 36

After 4 hours, 48 gallons.

The answer would be -48 but that's not a choice given.
