To determine how long it will take for the water tank to be emptied based on the graph, you would typically look for where the graph reaches zero gallons. Since I cannot see the graph, I'll guide you on how to interpret it.

  1. Identify the x-axis: This usually represents time (in hours).
  2. Identify the y-axis: This usually represents the water level (in gallons).
  3. Find the point where the water level reaches zero: Look at the graph and see what time corresponds to when the water level reaches the x-axis (zero gallons).

Based on the choices you provided, if you find that the water level reaches zero approximately at 11.7 hours or 12 hours, one of those two might be your answer.

Please refer to the graph to find the correct answer based on where the water level equals zero. If it is approximately at 12 hours, then you would select that option.
