Question

A swimming pool was drained in the Fall at a constant rate. The table shows the numbers of gallons of water left in the pool after being drained for two amounts of time. What is the rate at which water was drained from the pool?

Answer 1

Answer: A, 3 gallons a minute.

Step-by-step explanation: We see that in 30 minutes, 90 gallons were drained from the pool, so we divide 90 by 30 (90/30) and we get 3 gallons per minute.
