Answer: Rate of water flow is 12/5 gallon per minute
Explanation:
Given the following :
Volume of faucet pot = 2 gallon
Time taken to fill the faucet pot = 5/6 of a minute = (5/6) minute.
Rate of water flow:
Volume of faucet pot / time taken
= 2 gallon ÷ (5/6) minute
= 2 gallon × (6/5) minutes
= (12 /5) gallon / minute
= 2 2/5 gallon / minute
Hence rate of water flow is 12/5 gallon per minute.
