A fire engine’s 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?
The pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes, so in 1 minute, it removes 250/5 = <<250/5=50>>50 gallons of water.
Thus, in 1 minute, the amount of water in the fire engine's water tank change by -50 gallons. Answer: \boxed{-50}.
To find the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute, we need to calculate the amount of water the pump removes in 1 minute.
Since the pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes, we can find the amount of water removed in 1 minute by dividing 250 by 5.
250 gallons ÷ 5 minutes = 50 gallons
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute is 50 gallons.
