A large container holds 8 gallons of water. It begins leaking at a constant rate. After 48 minutes, the container has 5 gallons of water left. Part 1 out of 2
At what rate is the water leaking? Express your answer as a positive value.

The water is leaking at the rate of gal/min.

The water is leaking at the rate of 0.0625 gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change

The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.

The container holds 8 gallons of water and is leaking at a constant rate to be calculated later.

When 48 minutes have passed, the container has 5 gallons of water left. This means it has leaked 8 gallons - 5 gallons = 3 gallons.

Calculating the rate at which it's leaking:

r = 0.0625 gal/min

The water is leaking at the rate of 0.0625 gal/min.

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

i you goofed up when writing this, because hnot is not a word minusf is not either. i cannot answer   because of that.
