Question

Water is being pumped into a reservoir tank. The total amount of water (w) after an amount of time (t) is given by the equation w =100+55t . If the total amount of water that will fit in the tank is 540 gallons, how much time will it take to fill the tank

Answer 1

Answer:

it will take 8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to

calculate the amount of time taken to fill the tank given the total amount of water in the tank.

Mathematically, the formula go

use is ;

w= 100 + 55t

540 = 100 + 55t

55t = 540-100

55t = 440

t = 440/55

t = 8
