Answer:
2 divided by 22 equals 0.55. 8 divided by 15 equals 0.53. So runner A had a greater average speed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of tank drops in every 10 minutes = 1/3 inches.
We need to find the expected change in the tank's water level after 2.25 hours.
Let us convert 2.25 hours in minutes.
1 hours = 60 minutes.
2.25 hours = 2.25 × 60 = 135 minutes.
<em>We need to divide 135 by 10.</em>
We get 13.5.
Now, we need to <em>multiply 1/3 by 13.5</em>, we get.
13.5/3 = 4.5 inches.
<h3>So, tank would drop 4.5 inches after 2.25 hours.</h3>
