A tank holds 500 gallons of water it drains 24 gallons of water in 6 min what is the change in water in 1 min
To find the change in water in 1 minute, we need to calculate the rate of water drainage in 1 minute.
We can set up a proportion to find the rate of water drainage in 1 minute:
24 gallons is to 6 minutes as x gallons is to 1 minute.
This can be written as:
24/6 = x/1
Simplifying this proportion, we get:
4 = x
So, the tank drains 4 gallons of water in 1 minute.
To find the change in water in 1 minute, we need to calculate how much water is drained in 1 minute.
First, we can calculate the rate of water drainage per minute:
24 gallons / 6 minutes = 4 gallons per minute
Therefore, the change in water in 1 minute is 4 gallons per minute.
To find the change in water in 1 minute, we need to determine how much water is drained in 1 minute.
Given that the tank drains 24 gallons of water in 6 minutes, we can divide the amount drained by the time taken:
24 gallons / 6 minutes = 4 gallons/min
Therefore, the change in water in 1 minute is 4 gallons.
