If the bathtub holds a total of 46.2 gallons , how many minutes would it take to fill the entire tub ?

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 3 minutes, at 17 gallons per minute, for the tap to fill the tub, so 51 gallons of water flow into the tub.

The capacity of the tub is 46.5 gallons; so in 3 minutes 51-46.5 = 4.5 gallons have leaked. That's a rate of 4.5/3 = 1.5 gallons per minute.

The amount of time it will take the tub to drain at that rate is 46.5/1.5 = 31 minutes.

answer: 20

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
