Question

If Cody is draining his hot tub which holds 1,400 gallons of water at a rate of 27 gallons a minute, what impact will it have on the amount of water in the hot tub after 18 minutes? A) -486 gallons B) -459 gallons C) 459 gallons D) 486 gallons

Answer 1

Multiply 27 times 18, and you will get the amount of gallons that have been removed. 27 * 18 = 486. The answer is A, because since it is being drained, the amount will be negative.
