Sam is filling up his pool. The water hose filled the 315 gallon pool in 45 minutes. At what rate did the hose fill the pool in gallons per minute?
Answer provided by our tutors
lets assume the hose has a rate of x gallons per minute
315 : 45 = x : 1
x = 315/45
x = 7 gal/min
the hose has a rate of 7 gallons per minute.
