approximately 12 hours

Work Step by Step

We will use the graph to find the time between the high tides. Since the tide movement has been modeled as a function, the time between the tides is constant. According to the graph, the first high tide occurs around the 3-hour mark while the next high tide occurs at about 15 hours. Therefore, the time between the high tides is approximately 12 hours.
