You have a bottle of water with a leak. after 2 seconds there is 28 ounces left in the bottle. after 6 seconds there are 20 ounces left in the bottle. how much water was in the bottle initially

32 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think of this as a linear equation.

y = a*x + b

where y is the amount of water in the bottle, a is the rate at which loses water, x is the number of seconds and b is the initial amount of water.

We have two pairs:

2 seconds - 28 ounces left or (2, 28)

6 seconds - 20 ounces left or (6, 20)

Now we can write the value of a as:

a = (20 - 28)/( 6 - 2) = -8/4 = -2 ounces per second.

Then our function is:

y = -2x + b

and we know that when x = 2, y = 28, so we have:

28 = -2*2 + b = -4 + b

b = 28 + 4 = 32

the initial amount of water in the bottle is 32 ounces.

yes. we do proportions in probabilities.

0.84 dang lotta people are looking for this lol or if you round up its 1 but the overall answer to that is 0.84
