Question

A corn silo contains 8,250 cubic feet of corn before it is loaded into a storage container. The corn is loaded from the silo into the container at the rate of 18 cubic feet per minute.
Which equation can be used to find the volume, V, of the corn in the silo t hours after loading begins?

Answer 1

Answer:

1080 x t = V

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of corn in corn silo = 8,250 cubic feet

Rate at which corn is loaded from the silo into the container = 18 cubic feet per minute

or we can say

Rate at which corn is loaded from the silo into the container = 18 * 60 = 1080 per hour

We need to find the volume, V, of the corn in the silo t hours after loading begins

Solution :

In order to find the volume, V of the corn in the silo t hours after loading begins, solve the equation: 1080  x t = V .

Answer 2

Answer:

1080 x t = V

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since corn is loaded into the silo at 18 cubic feet per minute, that means if we multiply it by 60, that would make it into "per hour" because, there are 60 minutes in an hour, so 18 * 60 = 1080, and we need to find the volume, V of the corn in the silo t hours after loading in, and thats simple to find, so just do 1080  x t = V, there is your equation! ^-^
