Question

A water truck is filling a swimming pool. The equation that represents this relationship is y = 19.75x where y is the number of gallons of water in the pool and x is the number of minutes the truck has been filling the pool. Choose True or False for each statement.

Answer 1

The answer is True

Explanation:

Given the expression

y = 19.75x------------------1

and y is the number of gallons

we know that

rate= quantity/time

quantity= rate*time-----------2

comparing the two equations

we can see that

the rate is 19.75 gallons/minutes

and the time is x

therefore x is the number of minutes taken
