Maureen forgets to turn a faucet off. After a minute, 1.5 gallons of water comes out of the faucet. Which equation can bw used to find the number of gallons, g, that comes out of the faucet after 2 hours?
A. g= 1.5 x 1/30
B. g=1.5 x 1/120
C. g=1.5 x 120
D. g= 1.5 x 604
2 hours = 120 minutes
therefore,
g = 1.5*120 --> letter C
so there,, :)
To find the number of gallons that comes out of the faucet after 2 hours, we need to determine the rate at which water is flowing.
We can start by finding the rate of water flow per minute. We are given that 1.5 gallons of water flows out in 1 minute. Therefore, the water flow rate is 1.5 gallons per minute.
To find how many gallons will flow out after 2 hours, we can multiply the flow rate by the number of minutes in 2 hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so in 2 hours, there are 2 x 60 = 120 minutes.
The equation that can be used to find the number of gallons, g, that comes out of the faucet after 2 hours is:
g = 1.5 x 120
Therefore, the correct equation is C. g = 1.5 x 120.
