Answer:

8 gallon of water per min.

Explanation:

lets solve this by finding unit rate:

since you have 72 gallons of water this will be your dependent variable so it should go in the numerator. This is dependent bcz the amount of time affects the # of gallons of water

the time is your independent variable so it should go in your denominator. This is bcz time affects the number of gallons produced

Hope This helps!
