A standard showerhead dispenses 50 gallons of water in 20 minutes. At this rate, how many gallons of water will a standard showerhead dispense in 5 minutes?

F. 12.5 gallons
G. 2.5 gallons
H. 37.5 gallons
J. 2 gallons

12.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion

50 gallons of water in 20 minutes, and x gallons of water in 5 minues

50/20=x/5

To solve, we need to get the variable, x, by itself. Right now, it is being divided by 5. To get rid of this, multiply both sides of the equation by 5

5(50/20)=(x/5)5

This will allow the 5s on the right to cancel, leaving us with

12.5=x

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
