Answer:
12.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a proportion
50 gallons of water in 20 minutes, and x gallons of water in 5 minues
50/20=x/5
To solve, we need to get the variable, x, by itself. Right now, it is being divided by 5. To get rid of this, multiply both sides of the equation by 5
5(50/20)=(x/5)5
This will allow the 5s on the right to cancel, leaving us with
12.5=x
= 12.5 gallons
50 gallons per 20 mins
50/20=5/2
5/2 per minute so 5 mins is
5/2 x 5 = 25/2
=12.5 gallons
