Acistern is leaking 0.25 liters of water per minute. approximately how many gallons of water is the cistern losing per hour? ( use dimensional analysis)

The cistern is losing approximately 3.963 gallons of water per hour.

Explanation

A cistern is leaking 0.25 liters of water per minute.

We know, 1 gallon = 3.785 liters

So, 0.25 liters = gallons

That means, the cistern is losing 0.06605....gallons of water per minute.

So, the amount of water losing in 1 hour or 60 minutes (Approximately)

17

step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
