A small pool holds 950 gallons of water. If a pump removes 300 gallons of water in 6 minutes, what is the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute?

Question

- 3.1 gallons - 50 gallons 294 gallons 650 gallons

Answer 1

To find the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute, divide the amount of water removed in 6 minutes by 6.

300 gallons / 6 minutes = 50 gallons

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