A cylindrical container has a height of 24 inches. Currently, the container is filled with water to a height of 18 inches. A leaky faucet drips into the container, causing the height of the water in the container to increase by 2 inches per hour. The equation below can be used to find t, the number of hours it would take to fill the container.
18 + ?t = 24
What number should be the coefficient of t?
+36915 The question states the drip fills the container at 2 in/hr
since the variable is 't' ...as in hours....if you multiply hrs x 2 in/hr the 'hr' will cancel and you will be left with inches...
the coefficient should be '2'
