Answer: It will remove 100 gallons for water in 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula use for direct variation :-

$y=kx$ , where k is the constant rate of change.

Given : Michael has a water pump that will pump water at the rate of 5 gallons per minute.

Let x be the number of minutes and y be gallons of water it will remove .

For x = 20 minutes and k= 5 in the above formula , we get

$y=5\times20=100$

Hence, it will remove 100 gallons for water in 20 minutes.
