A tub filled with 50 quarts of water empties at a rate of 2.5 quarts per minute. let w = quarts of water left in the tub and t =
2 answers:
This is a linear relationship. The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is:
Where,
- m is the rate of change (positive if increasing rate and negative if decreasing rate)
- c is the y intercept, or the initial value
<u><em>Rate of change is 2.5 quarts per minute (it is decreasing so m is -2.5)</em></u>
<u><em>Initial value is 50 quarts, so c is 50.</em></u>
Plugging in the values we get .
Changing variables to w instead of y and t instead of x, gives us,
. Where w is warts of water left in the tub and t is the time in minutes.
There is no viable solution when t=30 because at t=20, w=0 (). It means after 20 minutes, there is no water left. So t=30 minutes doesn't make sense.
ANSWER:
Modelling equation:
When , there is no VIABLE solution

A 52-card deck is made up of an equal number of diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs. Because there are 4 suits, there is a 1/4 chance to draw one of them, in our case, spades.
There are 4 aces in a 52-card deck, so the chance of drawing one is 4/52, or 1/13.
The question asks for the probability of drawing an ace or a spade. Because it uses the word "or," we add the probabilities together. This is because there is a chance of drawing either of the cards; it doesn't have to meet both requirements to satisfy the statement.
However, if the question were to say "and," we would multiply the two probabilities.
Let's add 1/4 and 1/13. First, we can find a common denominator. We can use 52 because both fractions can multiply into it (since the ratio came from a deck of 52 cards as well).
Now we can add them together.
This cannot be simplified further, so the probability is 17 in 52, or 33%.
