Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

t: time in minutes

The linear equation that represents the problem is given by:

w (t) = (1/4) t + 11.25

Answer:

An equation for W in terms if T is:

w (t) = (1/4) t + 11.25

B. Answer:2 .25 Tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of truck + sand when filled= 18 tons

Discharge rate per minute= 1/8 tons/ minute

Quantity of sand in the truck will be:

1/8tons per minute×18tons = 9/4 = 2.25tons
