Answer: The Millers need 15 gallons of water for 6 minutes.


Lets start by finding how much water is needed for 1 min shower.

25 gallons of water is used for 10 min shower:

10 mins = 25 gallons

To find 1 min shower, we will divide the 25 gallons of water by 10.

10 mins = 25 gallons
← Divide by 10 on both sides
÷ 10 ÷ 10
1 min = 2.5 gallons

Now that we know the Millers need 2.5 gallons for every 1 minute of shower, we can find 6 minutes of shower by multiplying by 6.

1 min = 2.5 gallons
← Multiply 6 on both sides
x6 x6
6 min = 15 gallons
