Question

A motorist is pumping gas into a car at a rate of 5/12 of a gallon every 1/24 of a minute. At this rate, how many gallons of gas will he have pumped into his car on 1/2 of a minute?

Answer 1

5 gallons

Explanation:

times both the rate of the gas pumping and the time it takes by 12/1

so you could get half a minute.

then you get 60/12 gallons pumped per 1/2 min

then you just simplify it to 5 gallons per half minute
