Question

Jada walks up to a tank of water that can hold up to 10 gallons. When it is active, a drain empties water from the tank at a constant rate. When Jada first sees the tank, it contains 7 gallons of water. Three minutes later, the tank contains 5 gallons of water.

Answer 1

Answer: 2/3 of a gallon per minute

Explanation:

You can find the rate by subtracting the amount of gallons she observed and dividing it by the time.

7 - 5 = 2 and 2 gallons/3 mins = 2/3 of a gallon each minute.
