PLZ HELP!!!!!
For each situation, tell whether a graph of the situation would be a continuous graph or a discrete graph:

the number of cans collected for recycling

pouring a glass of milk

the distance a car travels from a garage

the number of people in a restaurant

thank u so much for helping!!!!!!

Respuesta :

The number of cans collected for recycling

If we plot the time (in hours) along x-axis and the number of cans along y-axis, then since this function accepts discrete values, the graph of this situation is discrete.

Pouring a glass of milk

If we plot the time (in secs) along x-axis, and the amount of milk poured along y-axis, then since the graph varies at each second, this situation is continuous.

The distance a car travels from a garage

If we plot the time (in secs) along x-axis, and the distance of the car along y-axis, then since the graph varies at each second, this situation is continuous.

The number of people in a restaurant

If we plot the time (in hours) along x-axis and the number of people along y-axis, then since this function accepts discrete values, the graph of this situation is discrete.
