You can either scale down so you can get to 48 hours or just multiply from 20 to 48 and I'll explain both ways.
Scaling down:
You can find how many hours it takes to get to 1 gallon in the bucket by dividing
20÷5=4; It takes 4 hours to fill it up to one gallon.
You can now divide 48 by 4 to see how many gallons it'll take up to 48 hours.
48÷4=12
Quicker:
Divide 48 by 20;
48÷20=2.4
Now multiply since it filled it up to 5 gallons.
2.4×5=12
It'll fill 12 gallons in 48 hours.

Hey there!
Okay, so when you get a problem like this, all you need to do in insert the given value into the function and solve.
For example:
As you can see, they state that <em>(a) = 27, </em>so you insert 27 in for a in the function and it will look like this:
h(27) = 3(27) + 5
Now you solve on the right side of the equal sign:
3(27) = 81 (you multiply them)
81 + 5 = 86
When you plug the value of 27 in for a in this function, your output is equal to 86.

The last line is in vertex form, and can see the vertex is located at (2,1).
From 0 move to left two 1/3, them move to right four 1/3. The answer is 2/3
