There are 11.5 ounces of cereal in a container. Additional cereal is poured into the container at a rate of 2.25 ounces per second. How many ounces are in the container after 4 seconds?
pls help ASAP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

20.5 ounces are in the container after 4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of adding cereal is 2.25 ounces per second.

This means that in one second 2.25 ounce is added to the container.

So in 4 seconds 2.25*4=9 ounce of cereal will be added to the container.

Container already has 11.5 ounces of cereal.

Total ounces of cereal after 4 second =11.5+9

                                                              =20.5 ounces
