Question

Kylo begins to fill up a bathtub at a steady rate. When the bathtub reaches 50 gallons at 15 minutes, Kylo

Answer 1

Answer:

Please find a visual representation of the scenario generated with MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data on how Kylo fills up the bathtub with water are;

The time it takes to fill the bathtub with 50 gallons of water = 15 minutes

The time it takes to drain 30 gallons from the bathtub = 5 minutes

The time it takes to add 5 gallons of hot water = 2 minutes

The time it takes for all the water to drain out = 4 minutes

The given scenario can be represented visually on the coordinate plane, as follows;

The y-axis represents the amount of water in the bathtub in gallons

The x-axis represents the time from the when Kylo begins to fill the bathtub

The coordinates of points in the visual representation of the given scenario are therefore;

At the start, the bathtub is empty;

y = 0, x = 0

Then we have;

$\begin{array}{ccc}The \ Number \ of \ Gallons, \, y &Time &Cumulative \ Time, \, x\\0&0&0\\50&15&15\\20&5&20\\25&2&22\\0&4&26\end{array}$

Plotting the number of gallons and the cumulative time values on MS Excel gives a visual representation of the scenario
