Question

a leaky valve on the water meter over charges residents for one gallon of water every 1 1/3 months. the over charged amount w varies directly with time t. find the equation that models this direct variation. how many months it will take for the residents to be over charged for 5 gallons of water?
A w=3/4t; 6 2/3 months
B w= 4/3t; 6 2/3 months
C w= 3/4t; 3 3/4 months
D w= 4/3t; 3 3/4 months

Answer 1

4/3 months ---> 1 gallon

w = 4/3 t -----------------------(1)

5 = 4/3 t

solve t
