Question

Trent added water to a pool. It took 3 minutes to add 9 gallons of water. How long would it take to add 18 gallons of water to the pool. Complete the table.

Answer 1

Answer:

6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up the proportion as these two fractions equal to each other

9/3 = 18/x

2. Cross multiply so that 9*x=18*3

3. 9x=54, so now you divide 54 by 9

and this will give you

4. x= 6, so it will take 6 minutes to fill

up the 18 gallon pool
