From the table we can conclude that after 2 minutes the height of the water is increased by 4.
Example: In minute 2 it was 8 inches, in minute 4 it was 12 inches. (12-8=4)
This means that if the height of the water is increased by 4 inches for 2 minutes, then for 1 minute is increased 4/2=2 inches.
