Question

Water runs from a pump at a rate of 0.5 gallons per minute. At this rate, how long would it take to fill a tub with a 150-gallon capacity?

Answer 1

300 min or 5 hours

Explanation:

so if it pumps 0.5 gallons per minute than in 2 minutes it would pump 1 whole gallon so with that we know 1gallon=2 minutes.

so with that we multipy both sides by 150 which will be 150 galons=300 minutes or 5 hours
