Question

A tub drains water at a rate of 3 gallons a minute. Which equation shows the relationship between g, the number of gallons of water drained from the tub and m, the number of minutes the tub has been draining water?

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to identify the requested equation, so we obtain the following:

Based on the information given, we obtain the following function:

Number of Gallons Drained=3*Minutes Elapsed

g=3m

Finally we get that the equation is: g=3m, where g represents the number of gallons drained, and m the number of minutes elapsed.
