A water tank holds 960 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 5 gallons per week. A second water tank holds 1,200 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 9 gallons per week. After how many weeks will the amount of water in the two tanks be the same?

Answer

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

because 4800*2.25=10800 and 10800÷9=1,200. If you do 4800÷5=960

I don't know if this is right.
