A fire engines water tank holds 750 gallons of water if the pump Removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes what is the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute
To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we divide the amount of water removed in 5 minutes (250 gallons) by 5:
250 gallons / 5 = <<250/5=50>>50 gallons
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons.
To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we need to determine the rate of water removal by the pump.
The pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes, so we can calculate the rate per minute by dividing the amount removed by the time taken:
Rate of water removal per minute = 250 gallons / 5 minutes = 50 gallons/minute.
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons.
