Answer:

1 1/3 minutes

Explanation:

Gasoline is pumped at rate of 3 gallons per minute into a container that already has 4 gallons inside

From the above question, we are to calculate the time at which the gasoline is pumped into the container

Hence:

Time = Number of gallons/Rate

Number of gallons = 4

Rate = 3 gallons per minutes

Hence:

Time = 4 gallons/3 gallon per minutes

Time = 1 1/3 minutes

The time at which the gasoline is pumped into the container is 1 1/3 minutes
