Answer:
5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is giving you the equation
y = 0.4x; where y is the # of buckets filled and x is the hours.
If they you 2 filled buckets, then how many hours?
You need to solve for x
y = 0.4x; to get the x by itself, divide by 0.4
x = [tex]\frac{y}{0.4}[/tex] ; now substitute y with 2 ( for 2 filled buckets)
x = [tex]\frac{2}{0.4}[/tex] = 5; which means it took 5 hours to fill up 2 buckets.
