The graph shows the water level in a bathtub, in inches, over time, in minutes. After the tub started to drain, how long did it take for the tub to drain completely? min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We need a graph to see @*Catwoman*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on, I'm trying to attach the graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aiight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so at t = 12 we see the bathtub is starting the downward trend on the graph, which means graphically, it's saying that the bathtub is draining right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t = 12 means time (the bottom horizontal axis) at 12 minutes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, I thought it was 15 for answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well not exactly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question is asking you "How long does it take to drain" right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if it starts to drain at 12 minutes, and then it is drained at 15 min, how long is it from 12 minutes to 15 minutes? (you got the right idea, it does drain by 15 minutes).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um...3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so answer is 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't really tell you the answer, but it does take 3 minutes for it to drain all the way after it started draining lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is the answer =0P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay, thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Np.
