A tank holds 500 gallons of water it drains 24 gallons of water in 6 min what is the change in water in 1 min

Answer 1

To find the change in water in 1 minute, we need to calculate the rate of water drainage in 1 minute.

We can set up a proportion to find the rate of water drainage in 1 minute:

24 gallons is to 6 minutes as x gallons is to 1 minute.

This can be written as:

24/6 = x/1

Simplifying this proportion, we get:

4 = x

So, the tank drains 4 gallons of water in 1 minute.
