so then you put 14/24 then you simplify this fraction to the lowest term....
divide both numbers by 2 which is 7/12...
i hope this helped :)
I think it is 9 that it ok
Answer
Let t be number of minutes since tap is opened
water is increased by 20 gallons of water per minute.
sugar increase rate of 3 pounds per minute
water :- W(t) = 350 + 10 t
sugar :- S(t) = 10 + 3 t
concentration
C(t) = 
at t = 15 minutes
C(15) = 
C(15) = 
C(15) = 0.11
at beginning t = 0 minutes
C(0) = 
C(0) = 
C(0) = 0.0286
C(15) > C(0)
hence, concentration is increasing as time is passing.
