Corsica fills a bucket with water at a constant rate. The equation below represents a proportional relationship between the ounces of water in the bucket (W)
and the time it takes to fill the bucket in seconds (S).
3W
32S
How many ounces of water were added to the bucket per second?
• A.
32
ounce
10⅔ ounces
11 ounces
D. 29 ounces
A. 32 ounces
This can be determined by looking at the coefficient of S in the equation, which is 32. This means that for every second that passes, 32 ounces of water are added to the bucket.
