Algebra.Com's Answer #298659 by jorel1380(3719)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you're losing 4 oz. a minute, you have 480/4 minutes, or 120 minutes before the radiator is dry. This gives you two hours. If you're going 35 miles per hour, you will have traveled 70 miles before the radiator is dry. \n" ); document.write( " |
