Answer:

The amount of water in the bathtub after 1 minute is 16.5 gallons. So, the amount of water in the tub after 2.5 minutes of filling will be

2.5 minutes × 16.5 gallons per minute = 41.25 gallons.

There will be 41.25 gallons of water in the bathtub after 2.5 minutes.

Answer:


\boxed{41.25}

Explanation:

Hey there!

Well we know the constant of proportionality is 16.5 because on the table it states 1 minute is 16.5 gallons.

So we can set up the following,

W = 2.5*16.5

W = 41.25

Hope this helps :)
