Answer:

Explanation:

To do this you have to figure each out in gallons per minute.

25/3 = 8 1/3. This means that the gas is going into the truck at a rate of 8 1/3 gallons per minute.

40/5 = 8. This means that the water is going into the tub at a rate of 8 gallons per minute.

The gas is flowing into the truck faster.
