Answer ↣ 12 gallons per minute
Step-by-step explanation ↣ Ok I'm gonna use ratios because I can't draw a graph here.
Ok so if the garden hose supplies 36 gallons of water in 3 minutes, then the ratio is 36:3 because every 3 minutes the garden hose "sprays" 36 gallons.
To simplify this ratio, you need find the amount of water the garden hose supplies in 1 minute.
Well to get from 3 to 1, you have to divide by 3.
Do the same thing to 36. 36/3 equals 12.
So the final ratio is 12:1
This is the unit rate. The unit rate is when one variable is 1 unit (most of the time it is speed).
You can multiply 1 by any number and multiply 12 by the same number.
Here are some ratios...
m=minutes
g=gallons
1m:12g
2m:24g
3m:36g
4m:48g
5m:60g
Hope this helped!
BTW why do I sound like this I'm not a aesthetic person-
95 times 2 is 190.
90 times 2 is 180, and 5 times 2 is 10.
180 + 10 = 190.
The answers for this question are 2 , 3 , and 5. these 3 make the most sense.
We are trying to find the average speed of the plane, which is mph, or 
. Using proportions, we can find the average speed of the plane in mph:
- Use the information from the problem to create a proportion. Remember that we are looking for mph, so we will call that
.
- Multiply the entire equation by
- Divide both sides of the equation by
to clear both sides of the mile unit
The average speed of the plane is 300 mph.
