Question

Sam is filling up his new fish tank at a constant rate. After 4 minutes, the fish tank had 10 gallons of water in it.

Part A: Write an equation to determine how many gallons the fish tank holds.

Part B: It takes Sam a total of 14 minutes to completely fill up the tank. How many gallons of water are in the tank?​

Answer 1

Fill rate = (10 gal)/(4 min) = (2.5 gal)/min
Tank capacity = 14 min * (2.5 gal)/min = 35 gal
