Question

There are 11.5 ounces of cereal in a container. Additional cereal is poured into the container at a rate of 2.25 ounces per second. How many ounces are in the container after 4 seconds? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

You can use a simple linear equation to find the answer.
If x is the seconds and it’s changing at a rate of 2.25oz/sec and you start with 11.5oz

The equation would be
y=2.25x+11.5

2.25(4)+11.5=20.5
