Question

John is filling a bathtub that is 12 inches deep. He notices that it takes two minutes to fill the tub with three inches of water. He estimates it will take 10 more minutes for the water to reach the top of the tub if it continues at the same rate. Is he correct?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

2 = 3 inches

2x5=10

10 = 3x5 of 15 inches

so no and it would take 8 minutes to fill up the tub
