Question

A hose fills a hot tub at a rate of 4.41 gallons per minute. How many hours will it take to fill a 278-gallon hot tub? ​

Answer 1

The rate of fill up is, Rate = 3.2 Gallons / minute = 3.2 g/min

The hut tub volume is 300 Gallons

You can set up this problem as follows:

Every 3.2 gallons require 1 minute, How many minutes 300 gallons require?

3.2 g 1min

300 g ? min = (300 gallons x 1min/ 3.2 gallons)=(300/32)min

= 93.75 min
