Question

Water is running into a bathtub at a constant rate. After 2 minutes, the tub is filled with 2.5 gallons of water. Write an equation for this proportional relationship. Use w for the amount of water (gallons) and t for time (minutes).

pls try to make answer simple, this is all my points

Answer 1

w = 1.25t

Explanation:

Since there is 2.5 gallons of water after 2 minutes, we can see that the constant rate of water poured is 1.25 gallons per minute.

Proportional Relationship:

(w/t) = (2.5/2)

Simplify:

2w = 2.5t

w = 1.25t
