Problema Solution
A certain hose delivers 5 gallons of water in 24 seconds. How much water will the hose deliver in 10 minutes?
Answer provided by our tutors
The rate of the hose is:
v = 5/24 gal/s
t = 10 min
t = 10*60 s
t = 600 s
The amount of water that the hose will deliver is:
d = v*t
d = (5/24)*600
d = 125 gal
The hose will deliver 125 gallons in 10 minutes.
