Answer:

The rate is 15 minutes per meter.

Explanation:

It takes 9 minutes to fill a depth of meters.

Filling meters take 9 minutes time.

Filling 3 meters of the aquarium takes = 45 minutes time (Multiplying by 5 both the numbers).

In order to fill 1 meter of the aquarium it will take minutes (Dividing by 3 both the numerical values).

Answer 2

Answer: 20 minutes per meter

===================================================

Work Shown:

8 minutes = (2/5) meters

5*(8 minutes) = 5*( (2/5) meters )

40 minutes = 2 meters

40/2 minutes = 2/2 meters

20 minutes = 1 meter

The unit rate in minutes per meter is 20 minutes per meter.

In other words, it takes 20 minutes to raise the level 1 meter.
