Question

Water is poured into a container at a steady rate. After six minutes, 9.6 gallons of water are in the container. Let g represent the number of gallons of water in the

container after t minutes.
Select the equation that represents the relationship between g and t.
g= 0.6254
gt = 0.625
1.6g =1
g = 1.6t

Answer 1

g = 1.6t

Explanation:

Here, we want to select the equation that shows the correct relationship between g and t

We are told that after 6 seconds, we have 9.6 gallons of water

So the amount per second will be 9.6/6 = 1.6 gallons per second

So the relationship between the two will be

g = 1.6t

Where t is the time and g is the gallons
