His friend tub was 48 ounces and Francisco was .75 of 48. So, 48x 0.75 = 38.6
Information we know:
a 15 ounce cup takes 3 second to fill
determine variables:
x=3
y=15
rate:
y/x=3/15= 0.2
fixture an equation:
y=kx
y=0.2x
plug in 40 for x:
y=0.2(40)
=8
Thus, it should take 8 seconds to fill a 40-ounce cup of soda.
