Question
Kerri is draining her 35-gallon fish tank so that she will be able to clean it. The graph represents the number of gallons that are being drained over hours in time. Immediately after Kerri begins draining the tank, she goes on a run for two hours, then spends one hour making herself lunch. Assuming that it takes Kerri 30 minutes to eat lunch, how much water will still be left in the tank when she goes to check on it after lunch?

To determine how much water is left in the tank after Kerri goes on her run and has lunch, we need to analyze the time she spent away and how much water was drained during that time.
1. **Total Time Away**: Kerri is away for 2 hours (running) plus 1 hour (making lunch) which is a total of 3 hours.
2. **Draining Rate**: We need to examine the graph to find out how much water is drained per hour. Since we do not have the actual graph data available, this will require estimating based on the description provided.
3. **Calculating Water Drained**: If we assume the graph indicates that Kerri drains a certain number of gallons per hour, we should multiply that rate by the total time she was away (3 hours) to find out how many gallons were drained.
Without the actual graph data, we cannot perform this calculation accurately. However, I can guide you through the process if you say how many gallons are drained per hour according to the graph.
4. **Finding Remaining Water**: Subtract the total gallons drained (calculated in the previous step) from the initial 35 gallons in the tank.
Finally, match the remaining water with the options provided (15.5 gallons, 26 gallons, 24.5 gallons, 35 gallons).
If you can provide the draining rate depicted on the graph, I can help you find the answer.
