A fire engine’s water tank holds 750 gallons of water. If the pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes, what is the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute?(1 point)

To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we need to divide the change in water by the time taken.
The change in water is 250 gallons and the time taken is 5 minutes.
So, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 250 gallons / 5 minutes = <<250/5=50>>50 gallons. Answer: \boxed{50}.
To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we can divide the amount of water removed in 5 minutes by 5.
Since the pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes, we can calculate the amount of water removed in 1 minute by dividing 250 by 5.
So, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 250/5 = 50 gallons.
To find the change in the amount of water in 1 minute, we need to determine how much water is being removed per minute.
The pump removes 250 gallons of water in 5 minutes.
So, to find the amount of water removed in 1 minute, we divide 250 gallons by 5 minutes.
250 gallons / 5 minutes = 50 gallons per minute.
Therefore, the change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons.
