At time t=0, water begins to drip out of a pipe into an empty bucket. After 36 minutes, there are 12 inches of water in the bucket. Write a linear function rule to model how many inches of water w are in the bucket after any number of minutes

y=1/3t

Step-by-step explanation:

For a linear function you can use the formula y=mx+b

m is the slope (also known as the rate of change)

b is the y intercept (the value y is at when x is 0). For this problem the bucket starts out empty so there is no y-intercept that needs to be written in the equation.

To find slope divide the inches of water by the total number of minutes given. 12/36=1/3

Plug your slope and y-intercept into the equation.

y=1/3t+0

Simplify

y=1/3t

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
