Andrew fish tank holds 144 gallons of water. To clean the tank, he drains the water at a rate the water at a rate of 6 gallons p

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...

6t = 144 * $\frac{1}{3}$ .... first multiply the right side of the equation

6t = 48 ... next divide both sides by 6

t = 8

Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.
