Answer: F. Initially the pipe leaks at 17 gallons per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation below:

R = 17 + 4t

Where R is the rate of leakage in gallons per minute,

And t is the age of pipe in years.

The rate of leakage at time t = 0 ( initial rate of leakage )

R(0)= 17 + 4(0)

R(0)= 17 gallons per minute.

Therefore the initial rate of leakage is 17gallons per minute

I am stuck on this one lol. Coleman pays $12.99 for 3 hamburgers. How much would Coleman pay for 10 hamburgers? Enter your answe
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$43.30

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know,

3 hamburgers = $12.99

Coleman wants to know how much would he have to pay for 10 hamburgers,

In order to find out how much 10 hamburgers cost, you need to find out how much 1 hamburger costs,

To find how much 1 hamburger costs divide 12.99 by 3,

12.99/3

= 4.33

Now we know that 1 hamburger cost $4.33,

Now time to find out how much 10 hamburgers cost,

Multiply 4.33 by 10,

4.33 × 10

= 43.30

Therefore it cost $43.30 for 10 hamburgers.
