Question

Neil has a leaky faucet in his bathroom. He decides to find the amount of water leaking from the faucet over a period of time. For the first hour, he measured the volume of water that leaked by collecting it in a beaker.

I figured out how to do the first two questions.
-Based on the image, estimate to the nearest tenth of a milliliter (mL) the volume of water collected in the beaker in the first hour.---I got 76 mL.
- Neil used a more precise measuring device to measure the amount of water that leaked from the faucet during the second hour. He found that the volume increased by of 1/12

Answer 1

b. of the volume of water that leaked during the first hour. Find the amount of water that leaked in the second hour. ---- I got 152mL.
These are the questions i'm stuck on.
-C. Assuming that the amount of water leaking from the faucet every hour increases uniformly byof the amount that leaked in the previous hour, write a function representing the amount of water leaked each hour.
d. Write a finite geometric series representing the total amount of water leaked after h hours.
e. Find the amount of water that will leak in the first 24 hours if the leak is not fixed.

Answer 2

f. Find the amount of water that will leak in the next 24 hours.
g. How much more water will leak in the second 24 hours than in the first 24 hours?
h. If the cost of water is $5 for 1,000 gallons (1 milliliter = 0.000264 gallon), how many hours will it take for the leak to cost Neil $40?
