Hose a fills a water truck at the constant rate of 60 gallons every 15 minutes. hose b fills a water truck at a constant rate that
is represented by the function y = 3x, where y is the total number of aallons filled in x minutes. which best compares the rates of
the two hoses?
the rate of hose a is 3 gallons per minute more than the rate of hose b.
the rate of hose b is 3 gallons per minute more than the rate of hose a.
the rate of hose a is 1 gallon per minute more than the rate of hose b.
d)
the rate per minute is the same for hose a and hose b.

"The rate of Hose A is 1 gallon per minute more than the rate of Hose B"

Step-by-step explanation:

Hose A:

60 gallons every 15 minutes means

60/15 = 4 gallons per minute

Hose B:

y = 3x

y is gallons

x is minutes

we put x = 1 and get:

y = 3*1 = 3

That means 3 gallons per minute

Thus,

the correct choice is C), or third option. 4 is 1 greater than 3 so Hose A is 1 gallons per minute more than the rate of Hose B.

its the fourth option

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
