2. Jada fills her aquarium with water.

The graph shows the height of the water, in cm, in the aquarium as a function of time in minutes. Invent a story of how Jada fills the aquarium that fits the graph.

Answer 1

Jada fills her aquarium with water at a constant rate of 5cm/minute for 2 minutes. She then stops the water from running for 1 minute. After that, she started to fill the aquarium at a constant rate of 10cm/minute for another 2 minutes. After 5 minutes, she reduces the water running at a rate of 5cm for 2 minutes. After 7 minutes, she turns off the water and the water is at 25cm.
