9. Three minutes after a hot tub starts to fill, the tub contains 24 gallons of water. After 5 minutes the tub contains 40 gallons of water.
The relationship between the number the number of gallons in the hot
tub and the time in minutes is a proportional linear relationship.
Determine the number of gallons of water the tub increases per minute.

8 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

24 gallons in 3 minutes

you divide 24 by 3 which is 8

40 gallons in 5 minutes

you divide 40 by 5 which is 8

the relationship is that in both the answer was 8 as in 8 gallons per minute

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
