The drain removes 500 gallons of water in 10 minutes. To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, you divide 500 by 10.
500/10 = 50
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons. So the correct answer is 50.
To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we need to divide the amount removed in 10 minutes by 10.
500 gallons / 10 minutes = 50 gallons per minute
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute is 50.
So, the answer is 50.
To find the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute, we need to divide the total amount of water drained (500 gallons) by the time it took to drain that amount (10 minutes).
To calculate this, divide 500 gallons by 10 minutes:
500 gallons / 10 minutes = 50 gallons/minute
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute is 50 gallons. So the correct answer is 50.
