Based on the calculations, the slowest rate is equal to 4 gallons per minute.
<u>Given the following data:</u>
- Distance from shore = 12 km.
- In-rate = 3 gallons per minute.
- Rowing rate = 24 km per hour.
Let's assume the boat would sink if it takes in more than 20 gallons of water.
<u>Conversion:</u>
- 24 km/h to km/min =
= 0.4 km/min.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
Therefore, the slowest rate is equal to 4 gallons per minute.
