A fire engines water tank holds 750 gal of water if the pump removes 250 gal of water in 5 min what is the change in the amount of water in gal in 1 min

Answer 1

To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we need to determine how much water is being removed per minute.

The rate at which water is being removed is 250 gallons per 5 minutes. To find the rate per minute, we divide the amount per 5 minutes by 5:

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

Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons.
