Answer:

Time taken: 2\frac{1}{3}

minutes = 7/3 minutes

Water released: 9\frac{4}{5}

gallons = 49/5 gallons

Rate of water flowing out:

Rate(in gallons/minute) = Water released (in gallons) / Time Taken (in minutes)

plugging the given values

Rate = \frac{\frac{49}{5} }{\frac{7}{3} }

3

7

5

49

= \frac{49}{5} * \frac{3}{7}

Time taken: 2
(1)/(3) minutes = 7/3 minutes

Water released: 9
(4)/(5) gallons = 49/5 gallons

Rate of water flowing out:

Rate(in gallons/minute) = Water released (in gallons) / Time Taken (in minutes)

plugging the given values

Rate =
((49)/(5) )/((7)/(3) ) =
(49)/(5) * (3)/(7)

Rate = 21/5 = 4.2 gallons/minute
