8.96 gallons of water
To solve this question, you multiply the ratio of the volumes of container b to container a by the volume of container a. As container b has a greater volume than container a, the ratio will be greater than 1. In this scenario, it is 112% since it includes a 12% increase: 100% + 12% = 112%. Consequently, the volume of container b is calculated as 112% x 8 gallons = 8.96 gallons.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is presented as y = mx + b, where x and y denote coordinates of an ordered pair, m represents the slope, and b indicates the y-intercept. Our objective is to isolate m. Initially, we will eliminate 'b' from both sides. Next, we will reposition the terms accordingly and finally divide both sides by x. Thus, we conclude that m equals the calculated value.
I’m not really certain, but I think C could be the answer; my apologies if that's inaccurate.
