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?
- 3.1 gallons - 50 gallons 294 gallons 650 gallons
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.
