A tanker truck fills the gas station’s reservoir at the rate of 121/2
gallons per minute.
If the reservoir was empty and it is now 35 gallons full, how long has the tanker been filling the reservoir?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Enter your answer in the box.
The amount of time it takes for the tanker to fill the reservoir can be found by dividing the amount of gas in the reservoir by the rate at which it is being filled.
35 gallons / 12.5 gallons per minute = 2.8 minutes
Therefore, the tanker has been filling the reservoir for approximately 2.8 minutes.
