Question

Practice using the work formula. A bathtub that holds 42 gallons of water is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. How long will it take to fill the tub? Enter your answers into the boxes. Enter the time t as a decimal. W = rt =

gal = gal/min. t ga • gal/min = t min = 1​

Answer 1

Answer: The percentage of the tub after 6 minutes is 30 %

Step-by-step explanation: The calculation can be done as follows

1 minutes= 4 gallons

6 minutes= 4×6

= 24 minutes

If the bathtub can hold 80 gallons of water then the percentage of the tub after 6 minutes can be calculated as follows

= 24/80

= 0.3 × 100

= 30 %

Hence the percentage of the tub will be filled after 6 minutes is 30 %
