Someone please help me with this quesion.
A barrel contains 192 gallons of paint and is being drained at a constant rate of 11 gallons per minute.
Write an equation that number of gallons,g,after t minutes.
The equation that models the given situation is_______.
g = 192 - 11t
Does this make sense?
suppose it drained for 1 minute, how much will be left?
after 2 minutes??
it makes sense thanks. I was in a panic thanks. I just started this class today.
g=192-1t
g=192-2t
To write an equation that represents the number of gallons, g, after t minutes, we need to take into account the initial amount of paint and the rate at which it is being drained.
Given that the barrel initially contains 192 gallons of paint, and it is being drained at a constant rate of 11 gallons per minute, we can subtract the rate from the initial amount for each minute that passes:
g = 192 - 11t
In this equation, g represents the number of gallons of paint remaining after t minutes.
