Question

The water flow rate through an 8-inch pipe is 1600 gallons per minute. The water flow rate through a 4-inch pipe is 260 gallons per minute. A 6- inch pipe has a water flow rate at one half of the rate of an 8-inch pipe.

PART A ; complete the equation to relate the flow of water from the 8inch pipe, E, to the flow of water from the 4inch pipe, F

E- _______ F

PART B ; Complete the equation to relate the flow of water from the 8inch pipe, E.

S=____E

Answer 1

The equation that relates the flow of water through a 8-inch pipe to a 6-inch pipe is y = .

What is the equation?

Division is the process of grouping a number into equal parts using another number. The sign used to denote division is ÷.

In order to determine the equation, divide the flow of water through a 8-inch pipe by the flow of water through a 6-inch pipe

1600 / 260 = y = 6 12/13 f
