Question

4. A bottle contains 68 teaspoons of solution. The solution drops out of the bottle

at a constant rate during a 102-minute experiment. The bottle is completely empty
just as the experiment ends. At what rate does the number of teaspoons of
solution in the bottle change?

Answer 1

The rate of solution change is 2/3 teaspoons per minute

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate rate

From what we have in the question,

68 teaspoons of solution dropped out entirely within 102 minutes

So the rate is takes to drop out per minute will be:

68/102 = 2/3 teaspoon per minute
