Answer:

5 gallons

The Water Well Board suggests that a minimum water supply capacity for domestic internal household use should be at least 600 gallons of water within a two-hour period once each day. This is equivalent to a flow rate of 5 gallons per minute (gpm) for two hours.

the question in English

Juan has blue cubes with a 55 mm edge and red cubes with a 45 mm edge. He stacks them in two columns, one of each color; he wants the two columns to be the same height. How many cubes does he need, as a minimum, of each color?

Let

x---------> the number of blue cubes

y--------> the number of red cubes

we know that

Juan wants that the two columns to be the same height

$55x=45y$

solve for y

$y=\frac{55}{45}x$

I proceed to calculate a table, assuming values of x to calculate the value of y. When the values of x and y are whole numbers, I will have found the solution.

the table in the attached figure

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

9 blue cubes

11 red cubes
