Answer:

w=0.5t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

'w' represents inches of water left after 't' minutes of time.

The dripping out of water is a linear function.

At time 't' equal to 0, the bucket was empty.

After 14 minutes, there are 7 inches of water in the bucket.

A linear function model is of the form: w=mt+b

Where, m\to\textrm{dripping rate of water}\\b\to\textrm{water level at t=0}

Now, at t=0,w=0(\textrm{As bucket was empty})

At t=14,w=7

Therefore, plugging these values in the above linear model and solving the system of linear equations. This gives,

0=m(0)+b\\0=0+b\\b=0\\\\7=14m+0\\m=\frac{7}{14}=0.5\ in/min

Therefore, the values of 'm' and 'b' are 0.5 and 0 respectively.

Thus, the linear model is given as:

w=0.5t

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't state the sentences but let me help out based on the information given.

Number of new motion toys = 12

Number of batteries used by each toy = 3

Since N represents the total number of batteries he need, the value of N will be:

= Number of toys × Number of batteries used by each toy

= 12 × 3

= 36

That means N equals 36.
