Question

A tank containing 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of 1/4 gallon per min. Write an expression to determine the number of gallons left in the tank after "m" minutes

Answer 1

Answer:
35 - (m/4)

Explanation:
If the leak rate is 1/4 gallons per minute, the leak rate in “m” minutes would be m*(1/4), which is m/4. For the number of gallons left in the tank, you’ll have to subtract how many gallons (m/4) it leaked from the 35-gallon tank.
So it’s 35 - (m/4).

Answer 2

35- m/4

Explanation:

Because the rate of leakage is represented by m/4 and the tank contains 35 gallons of water. Hope that helped!
