The change in the amount of water in 1 minute can be found by dividing the amount of water removed in 10 minutes by 10.
500 gallons / 10 minutes = 50 gallons/minute
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 divide the amount removed by the time it takes.
Change in amount of water in 1 minute = Amount removed / Time taken
Given that the drain removes 500 gallons of water in 10 minutes, we can substitute these values into the equation:
Change in amount of water in 1 minute = 500 gallons / 10 minutes
Simplifying this equation gives us:
Change in amount of water in 1 minute = 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 divide the amount of water drained in 10 minutes by 10.
The drain removes 500 gallons of water in 10 minutes, so we divide 500 by 10 to find the amount drained in 1 minute.
500 gallons / 10 minutes = 50 gallons/minute
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons. So the correct answer is 50.
