Answer:
The equation can be modeled be : y = 0.5 + 0.5 × x
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of empty 6-gal water jug = 0.5 lb
After filling 3 cups of water inside, the weight of jug becomes 2 lb
So, increased weight after filling 3 cups of water = 1.5 lb
So, weight of 1 cup of water = 0.5 lb
Now, weight of the jug be y and water filled be x cups
Hence, The equation can be modeled be :
y = 0.5 + 0.5 × x
Thus, this is our required equation.
