Question

Marco drains his pool water at a rate of 12 gallons per minute. How many gallons per second is this?

Answer 1

Given:

Marco drains his pool water at a rate of 12 gallons per minute.

To convert gallons per minute to gallons per second:

We know that, one minute= 60 seconds.

So,

`\begin{gathered} 12\text{ gallons per minute}=(12)/(60)\text{gallons per second} \\ =0.2\text{ gallons per second} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is 0.2 gallos per second.
