Question

Help and thank youRoderick water hos lawn with a small hose or a large hose.The small hose pumps 15 gallons of water per minuteThe large hose pumps water twice the rate of the small hose. Use the line tool to show the relationship between time and the gallons of water pumped by the large hose.

Answer 1

Given:

The rate of the small hose = 15 gallons per minute

The rate of the large hose is twice the rate of the small hose.

So, the rate of the large hose = 30 gallons per minute

We need to show the relationship between time and the gallons of water pumped by the large hose.​

Let the time = t

And the number of gallons = g(t)

So, the relation between the time and the number of gallons will be:

$g(t)=30\cdot t$

The following graph represents the relation between them:
