If Cody is draining his hot tub which holds 1,400 gallons of water at a rate of 27 gallons a minute, what impact will it have on the amount of water in the hot tub after
18 minutes?

A) -486 gallons
B) -459 gallons
C) 459 gallons
D) 486 gallons

Facts:

- tub has 1400 gallons

- draining at 27 gallons/minute

How much water will be left after 18 minutes?

We know that after 1 minute, there will be 27 gallons less.

So after 18 minutes, there must be 18 times less water.

27 x 18 = 486

This is how much water was lost in 18 min

So to find out how much he had left after 486 is subtracted.

Therefore, the answer is A) -486 gallons

sum= when you add is how much the whole amount is

distance= when you use angles and it means how far it goes
