Then write an equation to represent the situation.\newlineunit rate: \newline\square ounces per \newline\square gallon\newlineequation: \newliney=y= \square
  1. Calculate Unit Rate: To find the unit rate, divide the ounces of chlorine by the gallons of water for one of the given points.\newline0.5850.585 ounces / 4,5004,500 gallons = 0.000130.00013 ounces per gallon (rounded to five decimal places).
  2. Verify Consistency: Now, let's check the unit rate with the second point to ensure it's consistent. 0.910.91 ounces / 7,0007,000 gallons = 0.000130.00013 ounces per gallon (rounded to five decimal places).
  3. Write Equation: Since the unit rate is consistent for both points, we can use it to write the equation.\newlineThe equation to represent the situation is y=0.00013xy = 0.00013x, where yy is the ounces of chlorine and xx is the gallons of water.
