0.04 = 1/10 of x
'of' translates to multiplication
0.04 = 1/10 * x
0.04 = 0.10x
Divide both sides by x.
x = 0.04/0.10
x = 0.4
0.04 is 1/10 of 0.4

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
