Question

Five gal of water are added to a pool each minute.

After correctly carrying out the Solve step of the five-step problem-solving plan, which solution should you arrive at to find the number of minutes that must pass until the pool contains 80 gal of water?

Answer 1

What the other guy said. 10 = 2

So 10(2) 20(4) 30(6) 40(8) 50(10) 60(12) 70(14) and lastly. 80(16)

Answer 2

Simply divide 80 by 5. 5 goes into 80 16 times, and each 5 = one minuet, so it would take 16 minuets to fill the pool with 80 gallons.
