Question

an oil spill spreads 25 square meters every 1/6 hour. How much area does the oil spill cover after 2 hours?

Answer 1

300
`m^(2)`

Explanation:

The spread has a rate of 25
`m^(2)` per every 1/6 hour. That can be expressed as 25
`m^(2)` per every 1/6 hour:

25
`m^(2)`/ (1/6 hour), or

150
`m^(2)`/hour

After 2 hours, the spread would be (150
`m^(2)`/hour)*(2 hours) = 300
`m^(2)`
