Question

Pumping 25 gallons of gas into a truck in 3 minutes or filling a bathtub with 40 gallons of water in 5 minutes

Answer 1

Explanation:

To do this you have to figure each out in gallons per minute.

25/3 = 8 1/3. This means that the gas is going into the truck at a rate of 8 1/3 gallons per minute.

40/5 = 8. This means that the water is going into the tub at a rate of 8 gallons per minute.

The gas is flowing into the truck faster.
