1a) so for this problem, I took what they gave you, 637.5 and divided it by .75 and got 850

so .75 * 850 = the gallons, so just take the number of hours and multiply it by 850 to get your gallons

0.25 x 850 = 212.5

1.5 x 850 = 1,275

2.5 x 850 = 2,125

1b) the unit rate is 850

1c) 5.5 x 850 = 4,675 gallons

1d) So 850 gallons can be filled in an hour, you only need 100 gallons

850/100 = 17/2 (simplified)

17 gallons/hour 60 minutes

------------------------- x ---------------------

2 gallons 1 hour

the gallons cancel out and the hours cancel out which leaves us with:

17 x 60 = 1,020 / 2 = 510

510 minutes

2) I don't know how to do two sorry
