Answer 2

Answer:

20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the drain in your 45-gallon bathtub is partially clogged a partially clogged, but you need to take a shower. The shower head had a flow rate of 2.25 gallons per minute.  

We will use rate formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Work rate}=\frac{\text{Amount of work}}{\text{Time}}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Amount of work}}{\text{Work rate}}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{45\text{ Gallons}}{\frac{\text{2.25 Gallons}}{\text{Minute}}}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{45\text{ Gallons}}{\text{2.25 Gallons}}\times \text{Minute}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{45}{2.25}\times \text{Minute}$

$\text{Time}=20 \text{ Minutes}$

Therefore, you can take a shower for 20 minutes at most.
