The pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes.
To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we need to divide 250 gallons by 5 minutes:
250 gallons / 5 minutes = 50 gallons per minute.
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons.
So the correct answer is 50.
A fire engine’s water tank holds 750 gallons of water. If the pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes, what is the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute?(1 point)
