Question

Katie and Sunnie both have 20-gallon fish tanks that are leaking water! After 15 minutes, Katie's tank has leaked 43 gallon. After 20 minutes, Sunnie's tank has leaked 34 gallon. Which tank is leaking faster?

Answer 1

Katie's gallon

Explanation:

Katie and Sunnie both have 20-gallon fish tanks that are leaking water!

For Katie

After 15 minutes, Katie's tank has leaked 4/3 gallon.

The rate of leakage =

4/3 gallon × 15 minutes

= 16

For sunny

After 20 minutes, Sunnie's tank has leaked 3/4 gallon.

Her rate is given as:

= 3/4 gallon × 20 minutes

= 15

Therefore,

The tank that is leaking faster is Katie's gallon
