Answer:
1.5 gallons per minute
Explanation:
To solve this question we have to figure out how much water there was in every time scale calculated. To do this we simply have to divide both values...
- 12 ÷ 8 = 1.5
- 9 ÷ 6 = 1.5
- 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5
- 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5
We don't need to figure out the 0 as no time has passed for water to fill up!
We can see that for each one the answer is 1.5, so our average rate would be 1.5 gallons per minute!
Hope this helps, have a lovely day! :)
