To create a model for the change in volume of water in a tank with a small, steady leak using a complex fraction, we first need to establish a few variables:
- Let \( V \) represent the volume of water in the tank (in liters, for example).
- Let \( r \) represent the rate of the leak (in liters per minute), which is the volume of water that escapes the tank per minute.
- Let \( t \) represent time (in minutes).
Assuming that the volume of the tank starts at \( V_0 \) (initial volume in liters) and a small amount \( r \) is lost every minute, the change in volume after 1 minute can be expressed as:
\[
V(t) = V_0 - rt
\]
After 1 minute (\( t = 1 \)), the volume of water in the tank would be:
\[
V(1) = V_0 - r(1) = V_0 - r
\]
To represent this change in a complex fraction form, we can simplify the volume at \( t = 1 \) in terms of a complex fraction involving the initial volume minus the leak rate:
\[
\text{Change in volume} = \frac{V_0 - r}{1}
\]
Alternatively, to express it in a more complex fraction form, we could also represent the new volume in relation to the leak rate:
\[
V(t) = \frac{V_0 \cdot 1 - r \cdot t}{1}
\]
For instance, expressing the difference as a division of two quantities:
\[
V(1) = \frac{V_0 - r}{1}
\]
The complex fraction would then be formulated as follows:
\[
\text{Change in volume per minute} = \frac{(V_0) - (r)}{1} \, \text{liters per minute}
\]
This allows for an understanding of how the volume changes in relation to the leaking rate and the initial volume of the water tank over the specified time.
If you have more specific numbers, you can replace \( V_0 \) and \( r \) with those numerical values for a clearer understanding of the water level change after each minute.
