The ratio between the height of the in a sink (h) in centimeters and the number of minutes it has been filling (m) is 0.95. The sink has been filling for 40 minutes. What is the height of the water in the sink.
h/m = 0.95
So, you want to solve
h/40 = 0.95

To find the height of the water in the sink, we can use the given information about the ratio between the height (h) and the number of minutes (m) the sink has been filling.
The ratio given is 0.95, which means that for every increase of 1 in the number of minutes, the height of the water increases by 0.95 centimeters.
In this case, the sink has been filling for 40 minutes. So, we can calculate the height of the water by multiplying 40 (minutes) by 0.95 (centimeters):
Height of water = 40 * 0.95 = 38 centimeters
Therefore, the height of the water in the sink is 38 centimeters.
