Bye I quit yall can have my points

Water flows at a steady rate from a tap. its takes 40 seconds to fill a 4 litre watering can from the tap. the rate at which water flows from the tap is halved. complete: 4 litres into cm3

I’m still confused on how to work the percentages

Given that y varies directly to the square root of (x + 1), and that y = 1 when x = 8,(a)express y in terms of .x,(b)find the value of y when x = 3,(c)find the value of x when y = 5.
