Answer:

Water in 3 hours = 450 gallons

Explanation:

Given that:

Water flows at a rate of 25 gallons in 10 minutes.

10 minutes = 25 gallons

1 minute =
(25)/(10) = 2.5 gallons

Now,

Time = 3 hours

3 hours = 180 minutes

Quantity of water in 3 hours = 2.5 * 180

Quantity of water in 3 hours = 450 gallons

Hence,

Water in 3 hours = 450 gallons
