a bathtub is being filled at a rate of 2.5 galons per minute.the bathtub will hold 20 gallons of water how long will it take to fill the bathtub?

20 / 2.5 = _______ minutes

1000

To determine how long it will take to fill the bathtub, you need to divide the total volume of the bathtub by the rate at which it is being filled.

In this case, the bathtub has a capacity of 20 gallons and is being filled at a rate of 2.5 gallons per minute.

So, to find the time it takes to fill the bathtub, divide the capacity (20 gallons) by the fill rate (2.5 gallons/minute):

Time = Volume / Rate
Time = 20 gallons / 2.5 gallons/minute

Applying this equation, we find:

Time = 20 gallons / 2.5 gallons/minute
Time = 8 minutes

Therefore, it will take 8 minutes to fill the bathtub.
