To find the rate of water flow, we need to determine the amount of water that fills the pot in 1 minute.
If the chef fills the pot in 5/6 of a minute, we need to calculate how much water is needed to fill the pot in 1 minute.
Since the pot is filled in 5/6 of a minute, the amount of water filled in 1 minute would be (2 gallons) / (5/6) = 2 * (6/5) = 12/5 = 2.4 gallons
The rate of water flow is 2.4 gallons per minute.
Therefore, the rate of water flow is 12/5.
A chef turned on a faucet and filled a 2-gallon pot in
5
6
of a minute. What is the rate of water flow?
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.
