Water flows out of Pipe A at a constant rate. Pipe A can fill 3 buckets of the some size in 14 minutes. Write a linear equation that represents the situation

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

To represent this problem as a function, we need to find the constant ratio of change, which is also called the unit rate, the number of buckets per minute, so let's divide

Therefore, Pip A can fill 0.21 buckets per minute.

Now, the function must be linear, where its intial condition is zero. So, the linear equation is

Which demonstrates the direct proportion between variables.

No, the ratios are not equivalent to 2/3. To create an equivalent ratio, you need to multiply both numbers in the original ratio by the same number.

I took a test and it said that this was correct. I hope this helps!
