A leaky value on the water meter the residents for one gallon of water every 1 1/3 months the overcharged amount w varies directly with time t find the equation that models this direct variation how many months it will take for the residents to be overcharged for 5 gallons of water answers are w=3/4t;6 2/3 months, w=4/3t;6 2/3 months, w=3/4t;3 3/4months, w=4/3t;3 3/4months thanks

one gallon every 4/3 month
so 3/4 mo/gal

overcharge gallons = (3/4) gal/mo * t in months

5 = .75 t
t = 6 2/3 months
