Question

water flows out of pipe a at a constant rate pipe a can feel three buckets of the same size and 14 minutes write a linear equation that represents the situation

Answer 1

Notice that the rate at which the water flows is constant. Let;s call such R.

Then, the equation that represents the number of buckets as a function of time must include this info:

Number of buckets = Rate * time (in minutes)

3 = R * 14

Then R = 3 buckets over 14 minutes.

Number of buckets = 3/14 * time

This is the linear equation that represents the number of buckets filled as a function of the time elapsed (in minutes).
