Question

If the bathtub holds a total of 46.2 gallons, how many minutes would it take to fill the entire tub? Write an equation in one variable to help you solve the problem. The variable represents the unknown time in minutes.

Answer 1

16.5/min

time = m

gallons / minutes = rate

46.2 = 16.5 (m)

46.2 / 16.5 = 16.5 (m) / 16.5

2.8 = minutes

Answer 2

46.2÷m=x

Explanation:

u divide the amount of water by the time it takes to fill up(m). Witch will equal the amount per minute (x).
