A child’s swimming pool holds 168 gallons of water. Water leaked out of the pool at a rate of 8 gallons every 6 hours. At this rate, how many hours will it take for the 168 gallons of water to leak out of the pool?

126 hours. aka 5.25 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

168/ amount of time will leak until empty = 21

21 x 6 hours each time. :)

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
