Question

a bathtub has 124 ounces of water in it. arelli fills the bathtub at a rate of 16 ounces per second. how many ounces are in the bathtub after 11 seconds? what does the answer 300 mean in the context of this problem? 124 + 11 · 16 = 300 there are 300 ounces in the bathtub to start. arelli adds 300 ounces to the bathtub after 11 seconds. there are 300 ounces of water in the bathtub after 11 seconds.

Explanation:

The formula \(124 + 11\times16 = 300\) is used. Here, \(124\) is the initial amount of water. \(11\times16\) calculates the amount of water added in \(11\) seconds (since the rate is \(16\) ounces per second). The sum gives the total amount of water after \(11\) seconds.

Answer:

There are 300 ounces of water in the bathtub after 11 seconds.
