Question

A garden watering bucket has 3000 milliliters

of water in it, but there is a hole that is leaking
18 milliliters every minute. How much
water remains in the container after
a certain number of minutes?

Answer 1

y = 3000 - 18x

Explanation:

To describe the scenario of a garden watering bucket with 3000 milliliters of water and a leak of 18 milliliters per minute, we can create a function.

Let's denote the number of minutes as 'x' and the amount of water remaining in the container as 'y'. The function can be represented as:

y = 3000 - 18x

In this function, 3000 represents the initial amount of water in the container, and 18x represents the amount of water leaked after x minutes.

Therefore, the function that describes the scenario is:

Answer 2

3000 - 18*x

Explanation:

if "a certain number of minutes" = x then

water remains in the container = 3000 - 18*x
