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.

\dfrac{107}{100}x

100 107 Option A is correct.

This is further explained below.

<h3>Which of the following expressions could represent how much Leila pays in total for the model?</h3>

The price of the model is  x

Now we are given that she also has to pay a 7  tax.

Amount of tax =7 % x

=\frac{7}{100} x

the Total cost=x+\frac{7}{100} x

=\frac{107}{100} x

In conclusion, the statement might signify Leila's overall cost for the model. \frac{107}{100} x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A dependent variable in an expression is one whose value can be determined only when the value of other variable (i.e independent) is known.

A. The cost at the fitness center depends on the number of months (x).

The cost is the dependent variable, and number of months (x) is the independent variable.

f(x) = 100 + 40x

Example, the cost paid for 12 months can be determined as;

f(12) = 100 + 40(12)

       = 100 + 480

       = 580

Thus, $580 would be paid for 12 months at the fitness center.

B. The lettuce is sold at $1.69 per pound. The cost depends on the number of pounds of lettuce bought.

The cost is the dependent variable, while the number of pounds of lettuce (x) bought is the independent variable.

So that;

f(x) = 1.69x

The cost of 10 pounds of lettuce can be determined as;

f(x) = 1.69(10)

     = 16.9

Thus, the cost of 10 lb of lettuce is $16.90.
