If 6 pipes fill a tank in 120 minutes, then 5 pipes can fill it in how many minutes

It'll take 144 minutes for 5 pipes.

Step-by-step explanation:

but practically, it seems to be abnormal. if 6 pipes take 120 mins, 5 pipes must takes a time greater than 120 mins cause amount of water flowing to the tank is decreasing.

But there is a possibility that pressure of water was increased for the case of five pipes, that's why it takes a time less than 120 mins. (t < 120)

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
