Question

John is filling a bathtub that is 18 inches deep.He notices that it takes two minutes to fill in the tub with three inches of water.He estimates it will take 10 more minutes for the water to reach the top of the tub if it continues at the same rate.Is he correct? Explain

Answer 1

yes he is because it tale 2 minutes for every 3 inches 6 times 3 is equal to 18.so 18 minus 3 is equal to 15. 3 times 5 is equal to 15. 5 time 2 is equal to 10 minutes so that makes him right. hope this helps.
