Container A and container B have leaks. Container A has 800 ml of water, and is leaking 6 ml per minute. Container B has 1000 ml, and is leaking 10 ml per minute.
How many minutes will it take for the two containers to have the same amount of
water?
**Write an equation to represent the situation (first blank). Use the variable m, for
minutes.
**Then solve for m (second blank).
**Finally, use your solution to determine the water level at that time (third blank).
The equation
can represent this situation. It will take
minutes for the two containers to have the same amount of water. At this time,
both containers will have ml left.
