Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. they are adding water at a rate of 26 liters per minute. there are 300 liters in the pond to start. let w represent the total amount of water in the pond (in liters), and let t represent the total number of minutes that water has been added. write an equation relating w to t. then use this equation to find the total amount of water after 19 minutes.

1. The correct answer is W = 300 + 26 (T)

2. The correct answer is 794 liters in the pond after 19 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's summarize all the information given:

Liters in the pond to start = 300

Rate of adding water = 26 liters per minute

W =  Total amount of water in the pond (in liters)

T = Total number of minutes that water has been added.

Total amount of water in the pond = 300 + 26 (T)

W = 300 + 26 (T)

2. Let´s calculate the total amount of water in liters after adding more during 19 minutes

W = 300 + 26 (T)

W = 300 + 26 (19)

W = 300 + 494

W = 794 liters
