Question

A bathtub can hold 80 gallons of water the Fossett flows at a rate of 4 gallons per minute what percentage of the tub will be filled after six minutes?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Since the Fossett flows at a rate of 4 gallons per minute, therefore in 6 minutes

`6*4=\text{ 24gallons}`

In 6 minutes, 24 gallons of water will be in the bathtub. We can then find the percentage of the tub that will be filled after six minutes as:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage}=\frac{number\text{ of gallons in the tub after six minutes}}{\text{Holding capacity}}*100 \\ =(24)/(80)*100 \\ \\ =30\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

Answer: 30%
