To find the rate at which he pumped the gasoline, you can calculate the gallons per minute.
To do this, divide the total gallons pumped by the total time in minutes:
\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Gallons}}{\text{Total Minutes}} = \frac{54 \text{ gallons}}{12 \text{ minutes}} = 4.5 \text{ gallons per minute}
\]
So, he pumped gasoline at a rate of 4.5 gallons per minute.
