Question

A garden hose supplies 36 gallons of water in 3 minutes. Use a table of equivalent ratios to show the garden hoses water flow in gallons per minute and minutes per gallon.

Answer 1

The flow per-minute is 12 gallons every minute

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y

1-12

2-24

3-36

Answer 2

1 minute:12 gallons

1 gallon:0.0833 minutes

Explanation:

-Let x be the number of minutes and y be the number of gallons.

-Given that 36 gallons flow in 3 minutes, our table ratios can be calculated and represented as below:

`3 \ minutes=36\ gallons\\\\\therefore 1 \ minute=(36)/(3)=12 \ gallons\\\\2 \ minutes =12\ gallons * 2= 24 \ gallons`

#We then calculate minutes per gallon as below:

`36\ gallons =3\ minutes\\\\\therefore 1 \ gallon=(3)/(36)\\\\=0.0833\ minutes`

Hence,the flow of gallons per minute and minutes per gallon are represented in table ratios as attached.
