Assuming 10% of 40 = 4 gal every 5 minutes
It's asking how many gal will there be after 5 mins, we know that every 5 minutes 4 gal is made. So 5x6 is 30 minutes
4 gal x 6 = 24 gal
10% of a water tank fills every 5 minutes. If you are filling a 40 gallon tank, how many gallons will there be in 30 minutes?
10% of a water tank fills every 5 minutes. If you are filling a 40 gallon tank, how many gallons will there be in 30 minutes?
To find out how many gallons will be in the tank after 30 minutes, we need to calculate the amount of water that fills in 1 minute and then multiply it by 30.
Given that 10% of the tank fills in 5 minutes, we can divide 10% by 5 to get the percentage filled per minute.
10% / 5 = 2%
So, the tank fills at a rate of 2% per minute.
To calculate the amount of water that fills in 1 minute, we need to multiply the tank's capacity by the percentage filled.
40 gallons * 2% = 0.02 * 40 = 0.8 gallons
Therefore, the tank will have filled 0.8 gallons after 1 minute.
To find out how many gallons will be in the tank after 30 minutes, we multiply the amount filled in 1 minute by 30.
0.8 gallons * 30 = 24 gallons
Therefore, there will be 24 gallons in the tank after 30 minutes.
.1/5 = x/30
3/5 = x
3/5 of 40 = ?
