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.
