Question

The table shows the amount of water Joel had in his bathtub to wash his dog and his desired water level. If the water drains at a rate of 14 gallons per minute, how many minutes will it take the tub to drain to his desired level?
Starting Water Level = 42 gallons
Desired Water Level = 28 gallons

Answer 1

It will take 1 minute to tub to drain to his desired level, by Rate of change.

What is rate of change?

Rate of change is used to mathematically describe the percentage change in value over a defined period of time.

Given, starting water value = 42 and desired water level = 28

Rate of change = 14 gallons.

Let x be the time,

According to question,

42-14x=28

-14x=-14

x=1

Hence, it will take one minute.
