A fire engine water tank holds 750 gallons of water if the pump removes 250 of water in 5 minutes what is the change in the amount of water in gallons in one minute

Answer 1

To find the change in the amount of water in one minute, divide the amount of water removed in 5 minutes by 5.

250 gallons / 5 minutes = <<250/5=50>>50 gallons/minute.

Therefore, the change in the amount of water in one minute is 50 gallons.

Answer 2

Is it negative or positive

Answer 3

The change in the amount of water in one minute is a decrease of 50 gallons. It is typically represented as a negative number, so in this case, it would be -50 gallons/minute.

Answer 4

Is it -50 or -15

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's update the calculation.

If 250 gallons of water are removed in 5 minutes, the change in the amount of water in one minute can be calculated as:

250 gallons / 5 minutes = 50 gallons/minute.

Thus, the change in the amount of water in one minute would be a decrease of 50 gallons. Therefore, the correct answer is -50 gallons/minute.
