You would see how many times 6 goes into 30. Which is 5. so you would take 2.5 multiplied by 5. which equals 11 hours
Subtract the two Y values of X = 2 and X = 4 to find the total difference, then divide by the difference between X=2 and X =4
When X = 2 Y = 9
When X = 4 Y = 64
Difference between the two Y values = 64 -9 = 55
Difference between the two X values = 4-2 = 2
The rate of change = difference in Y divided by difference in X:
55/2 = 27.5
In order to answer this question, we use the concept of ratio and proportion wherein we use the equation,
R1 / T2 = R2 / T1
where R is for rate and T is for time. Substituting the known values to the equation,
(600)/x = (400)/ 20
The value of x from the equation is 30. Thus, it will take 30 hours if the rate was adjusted to 400 gallons per minute.
