Answer:

<em>The water is leaking at the rate of 0.0625 gal/min.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rate of change</u>

The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.

The container holds 8 gallons of water and is leaking at a constant rate to be calculated later.

When 48 minutes have passed, the container has 5 gallons of water left. This means it has leaked 8 gallons - 5 gallons = 3 gallons.

Calculating the rate at which it's leaking:

\displaystyle r=\frac{3\ gallons}{48\ min}

r = 0.0625 gal/min

The water is leaking at the rate of 0.0625 gal/min.

Lee watches TV for 2 hours per day. During that time, the TV consumes 150 watts per hour. Electricity costs (15 cents)/(1 kilowa
shutvik [7]
So electricity costs 15cents every 1,000 watts used, and if he watches tv for 2hrs every day for a month that’s 60 hours (2*30) And every hour he watches tv it’s 150 watts. They want you to do the 60 hrs times 150watts which is 9,000 (amount of watts he uses in the month) and remember 1,000 watts is 15cents
