Question

A large container holds 8 gallons of water. It begins leaking at a constant rate. After 16 minutes, the container has 7 gallons of water left. How many minutes will it take for the container to go from full to empty

Answer 1

I think it’s 112 minutes

Answer 2

128 minuter, or 2 hours 8 minutes.

Explanation:

So, every 16 minutes, 1 gallon leaks. that mean that we use 8x16, which is 128. now, we make them into hours, which is 2 hours, 8 minutes.
