Suppose that in 8 minutes, 40 gallons of water came out of a pipe.
What was the rate in gallons per minute?
To find the rate in gallons per minute, divide the total amount of water by the total time in minutes.
Rate = Amount of water / Time
Rate = 40 gallons / 8 minutes
Rate = 5 gallons per minute.
To find the rate in gallons per minute, you need to divide the total amount of water by the time it took to come out.
Rate (gallons per minute) = Total amount of water / Time
In this case, the total amount of water is 40 gallons and the time is 8 minutes.
Rate = 40 gallons / 8 minutes
Now divide 40 by 8 to find the rate:
Rate = 5 gallons per minute
Therefore, the rate is 5 gallons per minute.
To find the rate in gallons per minute, you need to divide the total number of gallons by the number of minutes it took to get that amount.
In this case, the total number of gallons is 40, and the number of minutes is 8. So, to find the rate, you can divide 40 by 8.
40 ÷ 8 = 5
Therefore, the rate in gallons per minute is 5.
