According to the graph, for what time value did the draining start?

anonymous · Answer

from 0

tkhunny · Answer

No, you can't drain from zero.  You have to have something to drain, first.

It fills for 3 minutes and then sits for 2 minutes.  Do you see that?

I don't get u

tkhunny · Answer

You have to look at the graph and understand that TIME moves from left to right.

tkhunny · Answer

Water level moves from bottom to top.

UP is filling
Horizontal is sitting.
DOWN is draining.
