Elena L [17]

Answer:

101.33333 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Leakage rate = 3 ounces per 19 minutes

Time it'll take for 16 ounces of juice in the container to leak out

The leakage rate on ounce per minute :

3 ounces / 19 minutes = 0.1578947 ounce per min

1f 0.1578947 ounces leak out in 1 minutes

16 ounces will leak out in x minutes

Hence ;

0.1578947x = 16 ounces

x = 16 / 0.1578947

x = 101.33335 minutes

OR :

3 ounces = 19 minutes

1 ounce = (19 / 3) = 6.333333 minutes

16 ounces = (15 + 1) ounce

15 ounces = 3 * 5

Hence, 15 ounces will leak in (19 minutes * 5) = 95 minutes

1 ounce = 6.33333 minutes

Hence,

16 ounces will leak in (95 minutes + 6.33333 ounces) = 101.33333 minutes

HENCE, All 16 ounces will leak out in 101.33333 minutes
