D. an additional 0.01 pound of weight is associated with an additional gallon of required daily water intake​

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (1/100)x, where y is the daily water requirement (gallons) and x is the bull's weight (lbs.).

This is telling us that the water intake per 100 lbs. is 1 gallon.  The additional water intake per additional 100 lb is 1/100, or 1 gallon.

A.an additional 100 pounds of weight is associated with an additional gallon of required daily water intake
