The Hamptons family has a fish tank holding 10,450 ml of water. The water is leaking at a rate of 270 ml per minute. Define the input and output in the given scenario

Respuesta :

The input is any variable which goes into the system. In this case there is no input.

 

While the output is any variable going out of the system. In this case the output is the amount of water which leaked out.

Answer:

The number of minutes represents input and remaining water represents output.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original quantity of the water in the tank = 10,450 ml,

Also, the quantity of the water leaked per minute = 270 ml,

Thus, the quantity water leaked in x minutes = 270x

∵ Remaining water in the tank ( say y ) = Original water - leaked water

y = 10450 - 270x,

Which is the equation that shows the given scenario.

In this equation, x represents the input value and y represents the output value,

Hence, the number of minutes represents input and remaining water represents output.
