Let the weight of the first truck be represented by w.
total weight = w + (2 + w) + (2 + 2 + w) + (2 + 2 + 2 + w)
32 = 4w + 12
20 = 4w
w = 5
Therefore, the first truck weighs 5 tons, the second weighs 7 tons, the third weighs 9 tons and the fourth weighs 11 tons.
.25(4) = 1 gallon
.25(8) = 2 gallons
.25(12) = 3 gallons
.25(16) = 4 gallons
.25(20) = 5 gallons
it would take 20 minutes to remove half the water (aka 5 gallons)
