Chad is filling a large bucket that is 15 inches deep. He notices that it takes two minutes to fill the bucket with three inches of water. He estimates it will take eight more minutes for the water to reach the top of the bucket if it continues t the same rate. Is he correct?

Answer:

No it would take approximately 10 minutes

Explanation:

If it takes 2 minutes to fill 3 inches and 15 has 5 3's in it then you would multiply 2 by 5 and you would get 10.
