Question 1045346
Mr. Smith's pool is filled with water to a height of 48 inches. It has developed a slow leak. Each day the pool loses 3 inches. Write an expression for the height of the water after x minutes.
---------
1 day = 1440 minutes
The leak is 3 in/day = 3 in/1440 minutes = 1/480 in/min
----
h = 48 - (x/480) inches
or, h = (23040 - x)/480 inches
