Two containers have leaks. container a begins with 80 ounces and leaks at a rate of 0.6 ounces per minute. container b begins with 100 ounces and leaks at a rate of 1 ounce per minute. how many minutes before the containers have the same amount of ounces?

50 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the following equation:

80-0.6m=100-1m

1) Add 1m to both sides:

80+0.4m=100

2) Subtract 80 from both sides:

0.4m=20

3) Divide both sides by 0.4:

m=50

Let me know if you have any difficulty understanding how I set up the equation!
