Sam wants to know how long it will take to fill his baby pool that holds 24 gallons. after 1 minute, there are 2 gallons of water in the pool. he plots the points (0,0) and (1,2) on his coordinate plane. what is the x-value of the point (x, 24)? a) 6 b) 12 c) 23 d) 25

When doing this on a graph, you can just continue to plot the points until you reach the x-value of the point (x, 24). But there's an easier way to do that.

List what you know about the problem so far:

1 min  =  2 gal

So, now that we know that, we can list what we need to solve:

x min  =  24 gal

Now, you can simply divide 24 by 2 to get the number of minutes it would take to fill up 24 gallons.

24 ÷ 2 = 12

So,

x = 12

So, 

12 min  =  24 gallons

It would take 12 minutes to fill the 24 gallon holding pool. Which mean the coordinate point would be (12, 24).

Your answer should be   B )  12

It will b. 975 because i’m guessin
