A tank of water was drained at a constant rate. The table shows the number of gallons of water left in the tank after being drained for two amounts of time.




Part A
What is the rate at which the water was drained from the tank?
A
666 gallons of water per minute
B
111111 gallons of water per minute
C
454545 gallons of water per minute
D
120120120 gallons of water per minute

To determine the rate at which the water was drained from the tank, we need the actual values from the table. Since the table is not provided, I can't calculate the exact rate. However, the rate can be calculated by examining the change in gallons over the change in time.

The formula for the rate of change (drain rate) is:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Change in gallons}}{\text{Change in time}} \]

Please provide the specific values from the table (initial gallons, gallons left after a certain time, and the time interval), and I can calculate the rate for you.
