The pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes. To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we divide 250 gallons by 5 minutes.
250 gallons/5 minutes = 50 gallons/minute
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons.
The correct answer is 50.
To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we can divide the amount of water removed in 5 minutes (250 gallons) by the number of minutes (5).
250 gallons / 5 minutes = 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 how much water the pump removes in 1 minute. We can do this by dividing the amount of water the pump removes in 5 minutes (250 gallons) by 5. Let's calculate it:
250 gallons / 5 minutes = 50 gallons/minute.
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons. So the correct answer is 50.
