1. **State the problem:** We want to approximate the average amount of water in the tank over the interval $[0,12]$ using a right Riemann sum with 4 subintervals.
2. **Given data:**
- Time values: $t = 0, 3, 7, 9, 12$
- Corresponding amounts: $A(t) = 36, 51, 43, 49, 64$
3. **Right Riemann sum formula:**
$$\text{Right Riemann sum} = \sum_{i=1}^n A(t_i) \Delta t_i$$
where $\Delta t_i$ is the width of each subinterval and $A(t_i)$ is the function value at the right endpoint of each subinterval.
4. **Calculate subinterval widths:**
- $\Delta t_1 = 3 - 0 = 3$
- $\Delta t_2 = 7 - 3 = 4$
- $\Delta t_3 = 9 - 7 = 2$
- $\Delta t_4 = 12 - 9 = 3$
5. **Apply right endpoints:** The right endpoints are $t=3,7,9,12$ with values $51,43,49,64$ respectively.
6. **Calculate the right Riemann sum:**
$$
\begin{aligned}
\text{Sum} &= 51 \times 3 + 43 \times 4 + 49 \times 2 + 64 \times 3 \\
&= 153 + 172 + 98 + 192 \\
&= 615
\end{aligned}
$$
7. **Calculate the average amount of water:**
Average amount = $\frac{\text{Sum}}{12 - 0} = \frac{615}{12} = 51.25$
**Final answer:** The average amount of water in the tank over $[0,12]$ is approximately **51.25 liters**.
