Q. The expression 100+20m gives the volume of water, in liters, in Marcel's pool after Marcel spends m minutes filling his pool. What is the volume of water, in liters, in Marcel's pool after he fills it for 541 minutes?
Understand the expression: Understand the expression and what is asked.The expression given is 100+20m, where m represents the minutes spent filling the pool. We need to find the volume of water in the pool after Marcel fills it for 541 minutes.
Convert to improper fraction: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.minutes541 is a mixed number. To work with it easily, we convert it to an improper fraction. minutes541=4(5×4+1)=4(20+1)=421 minutes.
Substitute value of m: Substitute the value of m into the expression.Now we substitute m=421 into the expression 100+20m to find the volume of water in the pool.Volume = 100+20×(421)
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication.Now we multiply 20 by 421.20×(421)=4(20×21)=4420
Perform division: Perform the division.Now we divide 420 by 4.420/4=105
Add initial volume: Add the initial volume to the volume added.Now we add the volume from the multiplication to the initial volume of 100 liters.Volume = 100+105=205 liters
