a backyard fountain pumps 18 gallons of water in 4.5 minutes assume the number of gallons varies directly with the time

we don't have enough info to solve this

take it another

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
