A tank of water was drained at a constant rate. The table shows the number of gallons of water left in the tank after being drained for two amounts of time. Draining Time (minutes) Water in Tank (gallons) 10 450 30 330

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 gallons of Water per minute.

Step-by-step explanation: 450-330 = 120. 10+20=30. So, 120/20 = 6.

This question is based on the rate of change.Therefore, the rate at which the water was drained from the tank is 6 gallons of water per minute.

Given:

Draining Time (minutes)      10         30

Water in Tank (gallons)     450        330

According to the question,

Now, we calculating the rate at which water was drained at a constant rate.

[tex]Rate \, of \, water \, drained = \dfrac{Rate \, of \, change \, of \, Water \, in \, Tank }{Rate \, of \, change \, of \, Draining \, Time} \\\\Rate \, of \, water \, drained = \dfrac{450 - 330}{30 - 10} = \dfrac{120}{20} = 6[/tex]

Therefore, the rate at which the water was drained from the tank is 6 gallons of water per minute.
