Question

if a bathtub is being filled at a rate of 2.5 gallons per minute, how long will it take to fill the bathtub?

Answer 1

Let x = number of minutes

( 2.5 liters/min )*(x) = 30 liters

x = (30 liters) / (2.5 liters/min)

x = 30/2.5 min [note how liters cancel]

x = 12 min

Check:

Is 2.5*12 = 30 ?

30 = 30 ?yes
