Question

A container initially has 150 liters of water. It is then filled with more water, at a constant rate of 6 liters per minute. Write an expression that explains the amount of water (T) in the container (m) minutes later.

Which mathematical expression represents the amount of water in the container (T) in terms of minutes (m)?

a) T = 150 + 6m
b) T = 150 - 6m
c) T = 150 * 6m
d) T = 150 / 6m

Answer 1

The amount of water in the container (T) in terms of minutes (m) is represented by the expression T = 150 + 6m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mathematical expression that represents the amount of water (T) in the container (m) minutes later, given that the container initially has 150 liters of water and is filled at a constant rate of 6 liters per minute, is T = 150 + 6m. This expression takes into account the initial amount of water (150 liters) and adds the additional water that is filled into the container at a rate of 6 liters per minute (6m).
