Answer:
68/9
Step-by-step explanation:
34 ÷ (14 − 5) × 2
PEMDAS
Parentheses first
34 ÷ (9) × 2
We have no Exponents so
Multiply and Divide from left to right
34/9 *2
68/9
So we know the tank already has 5 gallons and we need 9. This means we need 4 more gallons in order to fill up the tank.
If 1/4 gallon is being filled per minute we need to find out how many 1/4 gallons makes up 4 gallons in total.
4 of the 1/4 gallons makes up 1 whole gallon. So since we need 4 whole gallons we would need 16 of the 1/4 gallons.
This means that it will take 16 minutes for the tank to hold 9 gallons of water.
