This problem can be represented with an equation:
C represents the total amount of juice in the container. 1.75 represents how much juice is added to the container each second. x represents the amount of seconds that elapse, and 9 represents the initial amount of juice in the container.
6 seconds elapsed, so x will equal 6. Plug this into the equation:
There will be 19.5 ounces of juice in the container after 6 seconds.
