10. Model with mathematics. The flow rate on the Otter River Run can

vary up to 90 gallons per minute from the target flow rate of 640 gallons

per minute. Write and solve an absolute value equation to find the

extreme values of the flow rate on the Otter River Run.

Answer:

Extreme Flow Rates = 730 gallons per minute | 550 gallons per minute

where,

Maximum Flow Rate = 730 gallons per minute

Minimum Flow Rate = 550 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The extreme values of a quantity are the minimum and the maximum acceptable  values of that quantity. These values can be found by adding and subtracting the allowed variation from the target value, for maximum and minimum value, respectively. Therefore:

Extreme Flow Rates = Target Flow Rate ± Allowed Variation in Flow Rate

Extreme Flow Rates = 640 gallons per minute ± 90 gallons per minute

Extreme Flow Rates = 640 gallons per minute + 90 gallons per minute | 640 gallons per minute - 90 gallons per minute

Extreme Flow Rates = 730 gallons per minute | 550 gallons per minute

where,

Maximum Flow Rate = 730 gallons per minute

Minimum Flow Rate = 550 gallons per minute
