A faucet drips 2/5 gallon of water in 3 1/2 hours. What is the unit rate of water dripped per hour?

4/35 gallons per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount of water and divide by the time

2/5 gallon

3 1/2 hours

2/5 ÷ 3 1/2

change to an improper fraction

2/5÷ 7/2

Copy dot flip

2/5 * 2/7

4/35 gallons per hour

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.
