t=(V)/( 1.1)+0.5
A cylindrical ceramic mug with a volume of 
V cups is filled with water and placed in a microwave oven of constant power. It takes approximately 
t minutes for the water to begin boiling as given by the equation. What does 1.1 mean in the equation?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) The volume of the ceramic mug can be a maximum of 1.1 cups.
(B) Every 1.1 additional cups of water take 1 more minute to microwave and boil.
(C) The time it takes to microwave and boil 1 additional cup of water is 1.1 minutes.
(D) The minimum amount of time to microwave and boil any amount of water is 1.1 minutes.

Q. t=V1.1+0.5 t=\frac{V}{1.1}+0.5 \newlineA cylindrical ceramic mug with a volume of V V cups is filled with water and placed in a microwave oven of constant power. It takes approximately t t minutes for the water to begin boiling as given by the equation. What does 11.11 mean in the equation?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) The volume of the ceramic mug can be a maximum of 11.11 cups.\newline(B) Every 11.11 additional cups of water take 11 more minute to microwave and boil.\newline(C) The time it takes to microwave and boil 11 additional cup of water is 11.11 minutes.\newline(D) The minimum amount of time to microwave and boil any amount of water is 11.11 minutes.
  1. Interpreting the Equation: The equation given is t=V1.1+0.5t=\frac{V}{1.1}+0.5. To understand what 1.11.1 means, we need to look at how it affects the time tt when the volume VV changes.
  2. Effect of Volume Increase: If we increase VV by 1.11.1 cups, the time tt will increase by 11 minute because the 1.11.1 is in the denominator. This is because tt increases by 11 minute for every additional 1.11.1 cups of water.
  3. Understanding 1.11.1 Value: So, the correct interpretation of 1.11.1 in the equation is that every 1.11.1 additional cups of water take 11 more minute to microwave and boil.
