Graphing Practice

This graph shows the amount of gas, in ounces, in a lawn mower gas tank, modeled as a function of time.

• The maximum amount of gas in the gas tank was 60 ounces.

• The amount of gas in the gas tank is at a maximum at 0 minutes.

• The gas tank will be empty after 60 minutes.

Jared measured the total height of the water in a bucket at different times during a rainfall. He displays his data using the graph shown. Select ALL the conclusions that Jared can correctly make using the graph.

• The height of the water in the bucket increases 1/2 inch every minute.

• The height of the water in the bucket increases at a rate of 3 inches per hour.

• In the first 20 minutes, the height of the water increases by 2 inches.

• It takes 60 minutes for the height of the water to increase by 4 inches.

• There is already 1 inch of water in the bucket when Jared places it outside.

The data table below shows that as the pressure of a gas sample was changed, the volume of the gas changed. The pressure was measured in atmospheres (atm) and the volume was measured in milliliters (mL).

According to the data table, as the pressure of the gas increases, the volume of the gas:

• decreases

• increases

• remains the same
